Course Outline
Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing (AML/CTF) compliance is an integral component of the financial services industry. While internal regulations established within the compliance program of a business may be clear about the responsibilities connected to AML/CTF compliance, they do not always provide practical solutions to the challenges that financial service providers face on a day-to-day basis.
For this and for other connected reasons, the School of Law of UCLan Cyprus is organising this professional course aimed at providing professionals, as well as advanced students and others, with (i) an insight to some of the latest developments within AML/CTF compliance and (ii) practical and real-life circumstances faced by AML/CTF practitioners.
The Course will aim to provide participants with:
• a guide to the recent developments and trends within AML/CTF compliance;
• an insight to upcoming amendments anticipated through the 5th and 6th AML Directives;
• an opportunity to address practical and real-life problems and situations.
This Course is to be delivered at the premises of UCLan Cyprus. It is keeping with the mission of UCLan Cyprus, which is to offer high quality education and training to its advanced students, the professions, the business sector and the wider community. By special arrangement, the course may also be offered as in-house training for management, compliance personnel and employees at small and medium-sized businesses such as law firms, accounting firms, and administrative service providers.
