Training

We do not, as far as possible, deliver a "standard" anti-Money Laundering lecture.  As far as possible, training is designed specifically for the present audience. Having built up a pool of presentations delivered in the past, however, we can compile and deliver training on fairly short notice, using our exisiting 'modules'.   

Where  appropriate, therefore we often deliver a three-session package which covers the following:

I:     Introduction to Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing
    

Covering:

  • Definining what it is
  • Money Laundering and Crime
  • Fallacies & Facts about Terrorist Financing
  • Role of the FATF & the 40 Recommendations
  • Importance of US legislation in Hong Kong
  • Importance of the new legislation in China
  • Civil Litigation & non-traditional uses of money laundering legislation


II:    The Law in Hong Kong  (or other local jurisdiction as appropriate)
   

Covering:

  • The 'Dealing' Offence
  • The Reporting Duty
  • degrees of 'suspicion'
  • The Extraterritorial dimension
  • Definition of “reasonable grounds to believe”
  • Failure to Report
  • Safe Harbour Provision
  • Tipping Off Offence
  • The Role of the JFIU
  • STR Format & STREAMS


For reasons of variety as well as relevance,  the third session can be made up from any one or more of the following, or indeed other topics if required:

  • USA PATRIOT Act
  • Corruption & other China Risks
  • Emerging Market Money Laundering Risks
  • 'Special Recommendations' re Terrorist Financing
  • US Treasury MLTA
  • Trust & Company Service Providers.
  • Politically Exposed Persons
  • Trade Finance based Money Laundering
  • Casinos
  • Lawyers
  • Accountants
  • Money Remittance operations
  • Correspondent Banking
  • Impact of the EU Third Directive
  • Enhanced Due Diligence
  • Bulk Cash Smuggling & High Denomination Currency
  • Security Features in Hong Kong ID Cards

On longer or more specialist courses, group exercises include practical case studies and alternating role playing elements.
