AML High-Risk Transactions - Identify, Manage and Resolve

Why Should You Attend:

AML operations, systems, and processes are designed to provide sound compliance and appropriate reporting of Suspicious Activity to Regulators on SARS. Properly identifying the high-risk activity will focus compliance priorities properly. Properly managing high-risk transactions when they are identified is equally important. Together, they help avoid reporting failures which can lead to sanctions against the bank.
