Money Laundering in a changing world
8th Jul. 10 (CLBS) – The Credit Crunch and ensuing Financial Crisis has refocused everyone’s minds, including regulators, on all aspects of the business we carry out. We can therefore expect increased oversight and greater level of scrutiny from regulators who will want to ensure that the jurisdiction’s reputation is preserved. In addition the level of financial and organised crime being reported and financial service firms being punished for their failures must make all regulated businesses reassess their polices and procedures regularly. Furthermore, the successful detection of money laundering (and associated financial crimes and terrorist funding) and prevention of regulatory sanction is only possible through the vigilance of a knowledgeable & attentive staff. This can only be achieved through adequate training. In fact, training in this area is a regulatory requirement.
In order to address the local training needs, and with SIBA’s support the Centre for Legal and Business Studies (CLBS) in collaboration with Comsure Compliance Limited has the immense pleasure of inviting one of the foremost authorities in the field of “Operational Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering”, Mr. Mathew Beale FSI, AIFP for a 2-day practical training workshop on the 26th and 27th July 2010, titled “Money Laundering in a changing world”.
Mathew Beale FCSI AIFP is the Managing Director of Comsure, a Jersey (Channel Islands) company specializing in consultancy and training for the onshore and offshore financial services sectors. As a leading consultant in the Channel Islands he can offer insights into how the global risk of money laundering and associated risks is being tackled in his jurisdiction and elsewhere.
Mathew has been visiting and delivering his unique style of AML training in Mauritius for 5 years. Each year Mathew builds on his knowledge, experience and cases he deals with and researches and this is what he imparts to his delegates. CLBS now wish to offer the same opportunity in the Seychelles; in doing so this is Mathew’s second visit to the island. What we learned from his first successful visit is that he provides a unique, interesting and enjoyable perspective on this serious subject. In the two days he will look to offer insights from a practicable perspective in what the risks are and how they can be managed.
