ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND FINANCIAL CRIMES (AMLFC)
ONE-DAY SEMINAR

Critical Functions of Anti-Money Laundering Programs Tailored to the Caribbean

Date: TBA


ComplianceAid in association with the University of the Virgin Islands Institute for Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness (ILOE) will host a one day AML/CFT seminar tailored to the Caribbean on February 4, 2019 at the University of the Virgin Islands Administration and Conference Center on the St. Thomas Campus. This seminar will provide practical guidance to assist in safeguarding your institution with proper Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) and Financial Crimes Prevention (FCP) measures.

Do you know that a number of ISIS fighters originate from the Caribbean basin? During the seminar we will discuss the threat of terrorism in the Caribbean and provide guidance to assist your institution in meeting its obligations under CFT. Additionally, regulators have been emphasizing the importance of Know your Customer (KYC)/Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), but some institutions have failed in achieving that goal.  In this seminar, through the use of case studies, scenarios and role play, participants will learn how to conduct KYC/CDD, ask the right questions about the ultimate beneficiary of the funds, uncover politically exposed persons and undertake effective enhanced due diligence measures.

At the end of this one day seminar participants will have learned how to:

  • identify and handle trade-based money laundering
  • conduct effective know your customer, customer due diligence and enhanced due diligence
  • develop a risk based AML-CFT Program
  • build a risk-based customer risk rating matrix for their institution (A customer risk rating matrix ensures that customers posing elevated levels of AML/CFT are properly identified and monitored)

Topics to be covered during the one day seminar:                              

  • Role & Responsibilities in AML/CFT
  • Know Your Customer (KYC)
