Learning Tracks for Everyone
INVESTIGATIONS
In today’s world of near limitless electronic resources, it can be a real challenge to find your starting point in a financial crime investigation. Additionally, it is also easy to get lost in digital data and lose sight of the powerful intelligence that can be gathered by creating strong relationships with law enforcement. The Investigations Learning Track combines the latest best practices for intelligence gathering with the deductive reasoning skills needed to connect the dots in any investigation.
GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES Understanding global anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) standards is paramount to the success of every compliance function and department. Improving global AML/CTF compliance requires an ongoing process that identifies regional trends and typologies in order to prevent financial crime and protect your institution from criminal attacks. The Global Perspectives Learning Track homes in on regional issues and provides global solutions to tackling these challenges.
COMPLIANCE STRATEGIES
Year after year, the anti-money laundering (AML) community is witness to new reforms and compliance standards, added regulatory pressures and increasing enforcement actions. The question you now must ask yourself is this: Am I up to speed for 2017? The Compliance Learning Track provides practical insights including how to critically analyze your current compliance program, preparing for proposed changes coming down the pipeline, and accurately making adjustments based on new regulatory developments and expectations.
SANCTIONS
The rise of extremist groups and recent sectoral sanctions have created new challenges for compliance professionals, and the stakes have never been higher. The Sanctions Learning Track explores the latest Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) obligations, common mistakes made in sanctions management, and model testing strategies to help evaluate your sanctions program effectiveness and ensure sanctions compliance is a foundation of your program.
FINANCIAL CRIME TRENDS
When it comes to money laundering, cash is king, but with advances in cybercrime, virtual currencies, sophisticated trade-based money laundering schemes and a host of new criminal funnels, it’s mandatory to remain on top of the newest trends impacting the compliance community. The Financial Crimes Trends Learning Track highlights the newest criminal techniques for money laundering and delivers clever tools you can implement to keep your compliance program at the top of its game.
CASE STUDY
Oscar Wilde once said that experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. This holds particularly true of the knowledge we glean and share from our own compliance errors and also our successes. Ripped from the financial crime headlines and dissected over two hours, the case study learning track delivers real-world knowledge and insight. From missteps to innovations, you will take away proven tools tested in the field to reinforce your own compliance efforts.
RISK MANAGEMENT
A risk-based approach is the gold standard among compliance professionals when it comes to understanding and managing money laundering exposure. However, how do you develop a risk scoring methodology that’s right for your institution? What are the consequences and complexities of de-risking? The Risk Management Learning Track will take you down the path of understanding how risk management has, and continues to evolve.
REGULATORY UPDATES
Each year compliance professionals peg regulatory changes as the biggest problem faced in their departments due to an era of constant change as an array of new regulations are implemented. How will the new EU directive change the requirements for my department? How will FinCEN’s beneficial ownership changes alter the way I perform due diligence? What sanctions changing are coming and how do I prepare for them? The Regulatory Updates Learning Track takes an interpretive approach to these challenges, making it easier to understand how they affect your institution.
