Who should attend
This CPE / CPD certified course (Malta & UK) is ideal for compliance officers, money laundering reporting officers, risk analysts and those tasked with managing organisational risk.
Why you should attend
Google is estimated to have indexed 60 trillion web pages, but that only represents about 5% of the volume of information that is on the Internet. If an analyst or compliance officer relies solely on Google, a lot of relevant information would be missed. Search engine results are configured by complex automated algorithms. While search engines might seem to make life easier, without a basic understanding of what is going on in the background you can be misled into thinking the information you are looking for doesn’t exist.
