Course outline
This module provides governing bodies of investment funds and investment fund managers (IFMs) with an understanding of the professional obligations applicable, role and responsibilities of the governing bodies and key functions, the key elements of an appropriate AML/CFT framework, and insight on the practical challenges of ensuring that an appropriate framework is in place and overseeing its implementation.
Facilitated by leading industry professionals, the module focuses on specific key operational challenges, the evolving requirements and expectations of Boards and types of failings identified by supervisors and auditors on AML/CFT controls. Case studies will give the participants the opportunity to work through practical examples of AML/CFT issues. There will be any opportunity to ask questions on this vast and often complex subject.
