Gain a Basic Understanding of Financial Crime Risks and the Controls Needed to Mitigate Them
Money laundering is linked to organized crime, terrorist groups, human trafficking, and many other criminal activities which have significant political, economic, and social costs. Alongside the moral imperative to act, many organizations, particularly those in the financial services sector, have a regulatory obligation to prevent money laundering.
Professionals need to be aware of anti-money laundering (AML) practices so they can identify and mitigate AML risks. And anti-money laundering awareness and compliance training are an important part of meeting regulatory requirements.
