Anti Money Laundering Controls Within Corporate Governance Structures

Anti money laundering failures are rarely a single control breakdown; they trace back to a board that received comfortable reporting and a compliance function without the standing to contradict it. This course connects the two. Delegates work through the board and committee oversight that money laundering control actually requires, the reporting officer's position including independence, resourcing and the right to escalate over an executive, and the risk assessment a board should be interrogating rather than noting. Three lines accountability is covered, since laundering controls fail where the business believes compliance owns them. Management information and the questions that reveal a weak programme follow. Regulatory expectations of directors personally are addressed. The course closes on culture and on the pressure to bank a profitable relationship.
