It's crucial for your business to demonstrate a clear understanding of these requirements and training is the essential tool to achieving this.

From compliance officers to frontline staff, everyone must have a good understanding of the AML/CFT regulations and their specific responsibilities. Without robust training, your compliance efforts could falter, leading to serious consequences.

Here's what supervisors will expect to see in your training programme:

• Comprehensive training on relevant AML/CFT legislation.
• Clear documentation of your business's AML/CFT policies, procedures, and controls.
• Identification and assessment of ML/TF risks based on your risk assessment.
• Insight into ML/TF trends and techniques, including recognising unusual transactions or activities.
• Tailored training for different employees based on their roles and the AML/CFT risks associated with those roles.
• Evaluation of employees' knowledge, application, and retention of AML/CFT training.

While some training can be conducted in-house by your compliance officer, other areas may require external expertise. Regardless, the key is to establish a training policy, a delivery process, and mechanisms for monitoring completion which could be as simple as setting up an excel spreadsheet.

Strategi offers comprehensive training on all aspects of AML/CFT, empowering your key staff to understand requirements and establish the necessary policies, procedures, and controls for success.
