Compliance Caribbean

Training overview
Effective compliance in AML/CFT/CFP requires more than understanding the rules. It requires judgement, structured decision-making and the ability to apply regulatory requirements in complex, real-life situations.

This training provides an in-depth, practice-oriented exploration of AML/CFT/CFP compliance, building on foundational knowledge and focusing on application, analysis and professional judgement. Participants deepen their understanding of money laundering and terrorist financing risks, compliance programme design, governance expectations and investigative techniques.
