Why Should You Attend:
Whether or not you are subject to the Australian AML/CTF act and its requirement for an independent review, every AML/CTF program should have an independent review of its implementation and operation to provide a level of comfort to the organization as to the effectiveness of the program. The key to any review is framing it as a positive act that can help build on the program rather than one that is negatively focused.
The webinar presenter has worked in both law enforcement dealing with proceeds of crime and in the financial services industry managing and consulting on AML/CTF since the early 1990s. This webinar will identify the key considerations for planning a review, such as:
Can the independent review support the MLRO in providing a path to maturity for the program?
What level of assurance do you want?
Should you include your Part B KYC program?
Who should I get to perform the review?
What independence considerations are there?
What type of report do I want?
What additional value can I get from the review?
During the course of the discussion, attendees will explore typical issues identified by the presenter in independent reviews over the last 7 years and provide case studies to assist you in identifying some small, but important, areas where additional work may be needed. The webinar will give the audience added confidence, understanding and clarity in managing any form of independent review.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
The four key requirements of an AML/CTF review
Assurance (positive or limited) or review
Full reporting or reporting by exception
Extending the review to cover Part B
Reporting by exception or a detailed report
Common issues identified in reviews
