Money Laundering Avoidance - Course Outline

Aims and methods used

Money Laundering is a particular concern to the financial services and banking communities. The Criminal Justice Act 1993 and subsequent legislation placed responsibilities and duties on banks, financial institutions and individuals to be aware of suspicious activities as they may indicate illegal activity. This course sets out to show how employee and employer together can work to preserve the reputation of the institution in the face of determined efforts by criminals to use the financial markets to launder the proceeds of crime.

The course satisfies the requirements of the FSA for regular training of staff in this complex and current area.

A variety of media is employed during the course such as audio tapes, documentary evidence, specimen manuals, questionnaires and quizzes, case studies that require the participant really to put himself in the position of the decision-maker.  Studies that probe the moral, legal and management considerations of the crime form a climax of the course.
 
Previous participants have described this course as 'vivid, challenging and elucidating'.
