Establishing and Maintaining a Strong CDD Programme

Description

Description

A key concern and significant risk for financial institutions is the possibility of unknowingly becoming complicit in money laundering, whereby illegitimate money is moved into legitimate institutions. To mitigate such risk, financial institutions have strengthened their internal control systems by increasingly making use of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) requirements as part of their anti-money laundering (AML) strategies.

While KYC procedures are applied while onboarding a customer, CDD is an ongoing process of monitoring existing customers' business activities in order to identfy and mitigate possible AML/CTF risks

This course provides essential knowledge on how to establish and maintain an effective CDD programme within a regulatred entity which would be both compliant with all the regulatory requirements and not excessively cumbersome for customers themselves.
