Aims:
  • To ensure that all relevant staff have received up-to-date, relevant training on a range of required anti-money laundering topics and issues
  • To develop and test a range of anti-money laundering training modules and materials.
  • To implement a sustainable anti-money laundering training programme with country-specific content across the Bank’s global operations.
What the client needed:

The client’s brief was for a programme to reinforce and embed group and local standards and AML provisions.  The programme was to ‘lead from the top’, briefing and enabling senior managers to take a strong leadership role in the downward cascade of AML training to all relevant staff across their business.

What we provided:

Senior managers attended a half-day workshop dealing with the key legal requirements for their specific jurisdiction.  The workshop also covered relevant global policies for the client organization, as well as senior managers’ personal responsibilities as leaders in creating a compliance culture. 
As a separate element we developed a training resource ‘kit’ containing case study and simulation materials, handout cards, presentation slides, five short video pieces and detailed facilitators’ notes.  Selected Compliance Officers attended a Train-the-Trainer event at which they were provided with copies of this ‘kit’ and guidance on its use for ongoing anti-money laundering training, delivered to relevant staff.

What was achieved:

Following on from its inception the programme has been delivered with our assistance to approximately 5,000 senior and middle managers across the client’s global operations network.  The programme has been universally well received by staff and regulators alike and remains a core element within the client organization’s overall treatment of compliance training needs.
