Compliance & Risk Management Training
This in-depth course on AML, compliance, and risk management is intended for banks, financial institutions, and professionals. The trend worldwide among financial supervisory bodies is to strengthen risk management requirements. In today’s financial sector, regulatory compliance often demands research activities that extend beyond the financial realm to reach a comprehensive conclusion and make decisions that meet all regulatory requirements and cater to the needs of both the service providers and their clients. This requires research capabilities that are essentially similar to the intelligence capabilities of state bodies, but without access to the same information and tools.
The aim of this course is to enhance the performance of professionals by developing their client research capabilities and improving their risk-based decision-making skills. The course also focuses on optimizing the mechanisms for preventing financing of terrorism and money laundering through research and investigation tools. It provides an up-to-date set of tools that can be used in various finance systems. The course further emphasizes the need in upgrading information analysis, decision making and risk management skills, while maintaining a balance between the need to provide services that serve the needs of clients on an ongoing basis and the importance of preventing financial crimes.
Developed by experts in the fields of intelligence, compliance, and risk management, the course offers a dynamic learning experience for participants, enhancing their ability to collect and analyze information and acquire practical skills. In addition to strategic lessons, case analysis, and simulations, the curriculum also provides an opportunity to “get into the mind” of the intelligence professional. The course enables participants to optimize decision-making in accordance with reality, assess and manage complicated situations in the routine of daily work, and ultimately make risk-based decisions in a balanced manner.
Upon completion of the course, graduates will have the necessary knowledge and skills to make informed and effective risk-based decisions that consider the various interests of the bank. This will enable them to contribute to the overall success of the organization while also ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and the needs of stakeholders.
