Compliance Caribbean

Training overview
Non-financial businesses and professionals play an increasingly important role in the prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation. At the same time, regulatory requirements, supervisory expectations and enforcement pressure continue to intensify.

This training provides a practical and up-to-date compliance update for organisations and professionals operating outside the financial sector, but who are subject to AML/CFT regulation. The focus is on what recent developments mean for your day-to-day practice, how supervisors assess compliance in non-financial sectors, and how obligations can be implemented in a proportionate and workable manner.

Regulation and supervision are translated into recognisable situations, responsibilities and dilemmas faced by non-financial businesses and professionals.
