Edcomm Banker’s Academy Updates Extended Anti Money Laundering Training for The United Kingdom

Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently updated its Anti Money Laundering (AML) training program designed specifically for financial institutions in the United Kingdom (UK). Focus on AML for the United Kingdom has been enhanced to include more information and new interactive activities about the AML laws and regulations in the UK.

The UK has always put forth a strong effort to maintain its comprehensive AML system. For example, the UK has implemented many of the provisions of the European Union’s two Directives on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering, and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Forty Plus Nine Recommendations. In addition, banks and non-bank financial institutions in the UK must report suspicious transactions. In November 2001, money laundering regulations were extended to money service bureaus (e.g., bureaux de change, money transmission companies). As of January 1, 2004, more business sectors are subject to formal Suspicious Transaction Reporting (STR) requirements.

Focus on AML for the United Kingdom, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, teaches bank employees about AML laws in the UK and familiarizes them with their company’s own policies and procedures. Through this interactive course, students learn everything they need to know to detect and prevent money laundering. Beginning with an overview AML, the program goes on to cover international money laundering, money laundering in the UK and how to prevent, detect and report money laundering. Focus on AML for the United Kingdom can be customized to meet the needs of every Bank, Credit Union or Money Services Business (MSB). Each course is regularly updated to include changing laws and policies.
