Course Overview
In finance the difference between a healthy position on automated transaction monitoring and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Growth built on poorly controlled the financial and banking practice discipline reverses faster than it accumulated. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the practice within financial and banking practice before they become incidents. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make automated transaction monitoring hard in practice. The programme takes participants through the wider financial and banking practice agenda end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The content is relevant to those who own this aspect of financial and banking practice and to those who are held accountable for its results. Most organisations already have a policy on automated transaction monitoring; far fewer can show it working. The professional literature on the financial and banking practice discipline converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this aspect of financial and banking practice that participants can repeat annually.
