To comply with the AML and POCA Regulations the whole staff of each regulated business has to receive effective training in your business' AML policy and procedures.
First you need a set of office manuals documenting your business' AML policy and procedures. This “Policy Statement” forms the central part of every regulated business' AML jigsaw. In addition the Regulations require that you design a training programme for all staff and a means of assessing and recording the effectiveness of that training for each member of staff.
It is a huge task and the full weight falls on the shoulders of your MLRO. With everyone from the office assistant to the CEO needing training, the only affordable and workable delivery methods are online and in-house.
The following solutions are intended to ease the burden on your MLRO by providing ready made pieces of the AML jigsaw that you can slot into your existing systems.
The problem with the risk based approach of the Money Laundering Regulations is that they set out general principals of what your procedures must achieve, without giving you a step-by-step blueprint detailing what these procedures should be.
Our AML Package provides that blueprint. You are invited to copy chunks of the manuals and styles into your existing AML systems. (more)
Flexible and affordable training resources that help you achieve your training goals with the minimum disruption to your business.
The Online Assessments are designed help your MLRO comply with the Regulations by providing a measure of the effectiveness of your in-house training as well as a record of who has attended training and the nature of the training undertaken.
It is also intended to inject a bit of fun into what can be a challenging subject! (more)
