Overview
Banks and most financial institutions must have anti-money laundering (AML) programs to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Reviewing every customer, account, product and service in depth often isn't feasible, so a risk-based approach shows where to focus. This 60-minute AML risk management webinar explains how to build one.
By basing decisions on higher-risk factors, institutions can address the biggest risks more efficiently, and a good program also better satisfies regulators.
You'll learn what AML risk management is and why regulators prefer it, which elements to consider, how to create a risk profile and matrix, how to use it in operations, how to evaluate effectiveness, and how the same principles help elsewhere in the business.
Why attend: Anyone involved in AML compliance at a financial institution needs to know how to identify money laundering risks and manage a program that addresses them. This session covers those basics. It suits bank compliance and AML officers, risk and compliance staff, and bank and other financial institution management.
