Course Overview
Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over counter-terrorist financing. Participants gain a realistic view of what the wider financial and banking practice agenda costs and what it returns. It establishes a shared vocabulary for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing so that teams can disagree productively about it. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the financial and banking practice capability. Practitioner evidence points the same way: counter-terrorist financing improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. A common pattern is strong design of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing paired with weak follow-through. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make counter-terrorist financing hard in practice. Participants leave with a plan for the practice within financial and banking practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
