Course Overview

Most security failures involving counter-terrorist financing exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. Guard force performance on the practice within corporate security practice reflects supervision, not instruction. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this strand of corporate security practice and supervised application. Practitioner evidence points the same way: counter-terrorist financing improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the corporate security practice capability. Participants leave with a method for this area of corporate security practice, not a set of opinions about it. They leave able to brief senior management on counter-terrorist financing in terms that support a decision. A common pattern is strong design of the corporate security practice discipline paired with weak follow-through. The final session converts the week's work on the practice within corporate security practice into commitments with owners and dates.
