We are excited to launch a 3-part webinar series on ‘A practical guide to customer due diligence’ in a joint collaboration with FTI Consulting – a global advisory firm specialising in risk mitigation.

Under mounting market-driven and regulatory pressure, organisations worldwide spend over a trillion Euros annually in the fight against financial crime. The emergence of Covid-19 in recent months has diverted our attention and has seen a number of other risks emerge as criminals exploit this global outbreak that is a breeding ground for fraud and financial crime.  The full scale of the impact of such unaddressed risks will only emerge in years to come.

It has never been more important for organisations to fully understand the financial crime threats and invest in continuous training and development of their staff to stay ahead of the curve and comply with their regulatory obligations.

 

Over a series of three, 2-hour online sessions taking place on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of June 2020, delegates will be exposed to real-life examples and learn:

  • How to uncover corporate structures and networks
  • How to conduct effective due diligence on individuals
  • How to establish source of wealth and source of funds, with a focus on higher-risk transactions
