AML Training Services in Singapore

AML Training

An essential requirement for any company’s compliance with AML obligations is the alignment of management and employees. This alignment is achieved by creating awareness about the concept of money laundering, the regulations prevalent in the country, and expectations from the employees and the company for fighting money laundering and terrorism financing. AML/CFT training is a must for financial institutions in Singapore, and DNFBPs must impart AML training to ensure full compliance with the laws.

Companies must be mindful of the regulations and the obligation thereunder. They must also keep abreast of the changes and updates in these rules or requirements. Our AML/CFT training for financial institutions in Singapore is highly customizable.

AML training is essential to educate the employees on the benefits of AML regulations and local and corresponding international mandates. They must also understand the ML/FT risks their company is exposed to, how to identify them, and steps to take after identification. They must understand the legal ramifications of non-compliance with AML laws.

Your staff is trained on various aspects of screening, such as when and how screening is to be done, its importance in mitigating the ML/FT risk, and ongoing monitoring.

Enhanced Due Diligence

Enhanced Due Diligence is one of the critical elements of the customer relationship from an AML compliance perspective. Employees are trained in identifying the situations when EDD is to be performed and what additional measures are carried out as part of EDD. We also guide around what information is sought additionally and how fields to be studied from the customer's financials to determine the source of funds.

Risk Assessment

The detailed learning program is conducted around risk profiling so that employees understand the risk associated with the business they are into, the products and services they offer, the customer or business relationship-specific risk, transaction and geography-related risk, channel-related risk, etc. You will also learn how to categorize these risks, allocate weightage, and calculate the risk intensity for your company. We train you to adopt a risk-based approach to assess your enterprise risks and develop corrective actions to reduce or mitigate those risks.

STR

Reporting suspicious transactions is the main objective of the AML framework. Employees are trained to look for questionable elements and actions to be taken upon identifying suspicious activity. When, how, and with whom the STR is to be filed. Dos and don'ts about STR that may put the company at risk of money laundering and terrorism financing.

Maintaining Records

The AML laws provide for every registered organization to maintain the AML data for five years. Our training program covers the documentation-related aspects, such as how the data is to be maintained, data access policy, and confidentiality, to ensure that your personnel maintains the AML records per AML regulatory requirements.

Best practices in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing
