About the Course

The course begins with by presenting an overview of the anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terror (CFT) compliance regimes. The definition and stages of money laundering are discussed. Examples of compliance violations and penalties imposed by regulators are presented.

This is followed by a case study of an AML/ CFT compliance failure by Habib Bank Limited’s New York branch. We look at the subsequent penalty imposed on it by the New York State’s Department of Financial Services and the resulting implications for the bank.

The 40 FATF Recommendations for Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism and Proliferation are summarized. These recommendations provide guidelines and global standards for implementing laws, regulations and frameworks for combating ML/ TF risks. This is followed by a look at FATF’s review process including its technical compliance and effectiveness components and how countries are assigned to the published grey and black lists. A case study walks through Pakistan’s experience, the steps that are needed for it to exit the grey list and the consequences if inadequate action is taken.

Next, the risks that’s designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs) are exposed to, are explored. This includes a study of the FATF recommendations pertinent to them and a comparison of the degree compliance between financial entities and DNFBPs.

Finally, the features and elements of an effective AML governance framework and monitoring & reporting system are presented. .
