- transaction pattern analysis (One day)

This workshop is based on the Transaction Pattern Analysis lecture and seminar.

The first half of the day is taken up with a lecture describing transaction pattern analysis and the benefits and problems associated with it.

The second part of the day builds on the lecture with worked examples of account activity and specific indications of how to identify transactions that display abnormal characteristics. The Workshop is very hands on and will require the assessment of numerical and textual data in English. Examples will be set in a variety of banking disciplines and will help the bank define criteria for normal transactions, thereby facilitating the identification of abnormal transactions. Suitable for managers and compliance staff.

- implementation of counter-money laundering systems - HR, legal and other considerations (half day - see also workshops below)

This workshop is based on the Implementation of CML systems lecture shown above.

The first half of the day is taken up with a lecture describing some of the practical, HR, financial and managerial challenges faced by organisations setting up or updating CML systems.

The second part of the day builds on the lecture with a series of worked examples in which participants identify and discuss specific implementation problems and identify some possible remedies. Suitable for managers and compliance staff.

- creating a compliance culture.

This workshop is based on the Creating a Compliance Culture lecture shown above.

The first half of the day is taken up with a lecture describing compliance cultures and the benefits and problems associated with them, why a compliance culture is essential and why there is resistance to it.

The second part of the day builds on the lecture with worked examples of how compliance cultures are built, why and how staff and officers seek to undermine them. Examples will be set in a variety of banking disciplines and will help the bank examine how compliance failings occur in different disciplines, thereby facilitating the early identification of impending compliance failures. Suitable for managers and compliance staff.

- Handling a visit from the regulator (half day)
- Handling a visit from the police (half day)

These two half day courses are separate but can be presented together. They draw on laws from around the world to create an understanding of how to respond to an inspection or investigation with principles that are of general application. Pre-reading is required.

- Money laundering in non-financial services businesses

Half day advanced. Building on the lecture of the same title, this workshop will contain case studies of money laundering both using and by non-financial services businesses. As trade-based money laundering becomes more attractive to launderers, systems designed to protect the organisation against fraud must now be updated to protect against money laundering. Laws making directors responsible for the actions of their companies, and denying the right to say "we didn't know that was happening in our company" as a defence. This course will equip directors and internal auditors to re-examine their existing systems with a view to detecting and deterring money laundering and to identify stress points within the organisation.

- Internal systems: elements and problems.

Three days. To comply with Basle II, the requirements of the IMF, World Bank and the Financial Action Task Force there are some simple outline systems. But the detail is far from simple. A mix of lectures, reading and workshops will take participants through what has to be in systems, what is desirable in systems and where specific conflicts arise.

Lectures, seminars and workshops can be combined to make a course lasting several days.

If you have a specific workshop topic in mind, please let us know. We will be pleased to design a course.
