Covers the core pillars of banking compliance in a single intensive session: regulatory obligations, AML/CFT frameworks, KYC and CDD requirements, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and how to build a sustainable compliance culture within your institution.
Participants leave with practical knowledge of their personal compliance obligations, the ability to identify red flags and apply risk-based thinking, and a clear picture of what regulators expect from a well-governed financial institution.
