Financial Crime and Compliance Masterclass Including CTF & AML

Redcliffe’s Anti Money Laundering Compliance course is delivered by an expert who experienced a highly successful, long and varied “fast track” career in Lloyds Bank. Leading him to a very senior management position in the bank’s Corporate Banking Division at an early age, he was “head-hunted” to join a merchant bank at the board director level. He now has over 40 years of experience in the UK banking and financial services sector.

Alongside the delivery of Redcliffe’s AML CTF training course, our expert has enjoyed a freelance career since retirement. As a Compliance, FCC & AML training consultant and currently an external Master Trainer at both HSBC and Bank of China, you’re in more than capable hands.

At HSBC he has been a leading member of their global FCC & AML training programme which is now entering its seventh year. He has created and delivered sessions to a vast range of clients, from global giants to small firms and partnerships. He is an accomplished global trainer and has delivered extensive programmes in the UK, USA, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

As an anti money laundering compliance training expert, he is highly adaptive, hands-on and a sought-after facilitator who always receives excellent feedback. Alongside expertise in Compliance, FCC & AML, the trainer is adept in risk management, trade finance and all major aspects of corporate, private and retail banking. He is also a highly experienced soft skills trainer and has completed numerous “train the trainer” assignments.

FCC and AML are currently a very high-profile risk, with Regulators punishing firms who fail to implement adequate systems and controls. Even though no money laundering or sanctions breaches occurred. As such, AML CTF courses are a ‘must know’ for everyone working in a firm that is subject to the rules.

Financial Crime Compliance and Regulatory Compliance will be a “top risk” for nearly every Financial Institution. In recent times, Regulators have criticised many leaders in the Financial Services sector for not having appropriate and/or effective risk mitigation procedures in place. There have also been some eye-watering fines for non-compliance.

AML CTF training has never been more apparent with financial institutions required to focus increasingly on Financial Crime Prevention measures alongside robust combative systems. This includes detailed policies, clear lines of defence, solid CDD processes, a risk-based approach, clear accountabilities, and above all effective staff training and awareness throughout the organisation.

None of this is difficult. It is, however, costly, and time-consuming and involves putting in place procedures and systems to deter, detect and protect the institution from being used by criminals.
