International trade is a particularly attractive means of moving illicit funds across borders without being detected, and recent years have seen regulators around the world place increasing pressure on financial services firms to improve their trade-based money laundering (TBML) systems and controls. This course highlights the risks and shows how to apply best practice in order to comply with regulatory expectations.
This course is heavily based on true life case studies in order to provide delegates with the opportunity to discuss the complex issues involved with TBML, from over and under-invoicing, specific high-risk trade goods, to dealing with sanctioned countries and the problems recognising dual-use goods. The workshop will provide a comprehensive summary of the money laundering risks in trade finance, including a thorough summary of the key red flags, as well as a guide to improving TBML systems and controls.

The course is case study based, enabling lots of opportunity for practice and sharing experience, the workshop will help firms assess their TBML risks and improve their employees? ability to recognise and report suspicious activity.
