AML Training

Anti-money laundering Course with ABAC™

AML Training – Anti-money laundering Course with ABAC™

Our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) training course is designed to raise your employees’ awareness of money laundering in order to confidently identify and report signs of money laundering activity in your business.

As a global business entity with a range of subsidiary partner operations that cross several distinct business sectors (including but not limited to telecommunication, financial services, petrochemicals, energy production/ distribution, chemicals, fertilisers and food), your organisation needs to recognise that it is targeted by hostile entities seeking to take advantage of your market presence.

One of the key challenges is corporate finance’s control and movement and the need to ensure that effective Anti-Money Laundering (AML Framework) procedures and practices are in place. Refusal to accept the risks and your organisation is openly exposed to:

  • corporate fraud;
  • corruption;
  • exploitation from the theft of money and other assets.

A practical, introductory-level course that will give you a solid understanding of core money laundering and terrorist financing risks.  Suitable for operational or front-line staff as well as those considering embarking on a new career in AML as a stepping-stone for study at a higher level.

Why should you pursue a training in AML?

You need to comply with national, regional, and international legislative frameworks such as:

  • Section 453 of the 2017 Companies Act (Pakistan); and
  • UK’s Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) 2000).

More fundamentally, money that is unknowingly, unwittingly or (in the case of fraud and corruption) even consciously ‘laundered’ through the organisation could ultimately support, finance and promote international terrorism and the drugs trade. An effective AML framework is a testament to your organisation position against crime. As global corporate citizens aware of their responsibilities, any international organisation must comprehensively address these concerns and implement policies, procedures, and associated risk assessment mechanisms.

To have insufficient controls and be charged with engaging in money laundering can have any of the following negative consequences:

  • Damaged corporate reputations & brand devaluation
  • Eroding employee morale
  • Potential consumer boycotts
  • Negative investor perceptions
  • Possible legal action
  • Fines & potential jail terms for directors

Who should attend?

  • Anyone who aspires to a career in anti money laundering or fraud prevention

FAQ’s

If you have any questions that are not covered here, please get in touch.
What is money laundering?
Money laundering is the process of taking illegally obtained and often large sums of money and making it appear as it though it has come from legitimate sources. The money, often referred to as ‘dirty money’, is often generated through proceeds of crime such as drug trafficking and is ‘laundered’ to make it look clean.
Money laundering is illegal because it enables criminals to profit from crime and usually involves a number of illegal steps to take place. This includes attempts to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, ownership, or control of the proceeds of crime. While the source of the money is what makes money laundering illegal, the act of laundering money is also illegal.
  • Drug Trafficking. Drug trafficking is a cash-intensive business. …
  • International and Domestic Terrorism. For ideologically motivated terrorist groups, money is a means to an end. …
  • Embezzlement. …
  • Arms Trafficking. …
  • Other Use Cases.
