It's Not the Size of the Account that Matters

The UK Metropolitan Police are running their new counter-terrorist financing course next week in London. The course gives practical advice and real examples to help train financial services professionals in better understanding the ways that terrorists can abuse financial services. Sometimes clues can be shockingly obvious when the case finally comes to light. Frequently issues that should have been spotted are missed most likely due to poorly trained staff. Simple indicators such as mis-matched phone numbers or signatures, mistakes in the spelling of names, unusual transactions, high risk countries, frequent cash withdrawls and changes in the activity rates should trigger alerts along the way. Sometimes a good bit of common sense coupled with the understanding of how financial services can be abused could have prevented the problem.

KYC360 have partnered with LexisNexis and the Met Police to offer our members a discounted rate from this course. KYC360 Community members can save £50 off the standard price (login to the site to find the unique reference number.)

The Counter Terrorist Finance course is scheduled for Thursday 5th November and 7th December 2009 in Central London. It is designed to help Anti Money Laundering Officers, Compliance Officers, Risk Management Specialists and Auditors to understand how terrorist financing works and how to combat this threat. This intensive, interactive training day offers a unique reservoir of material, intelligence and practical advice to combat the terrorist financing threat, including: terrorist financing typologies and trends; law enforcement-lead and insights into financial intelligence; an interview with a terrorist; SAR to conviction case studies; case material including terrorist bank accounts; fraudulent credit applications and ID documents.
