e-Learning Programmes: Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering Terrorism Financing (CTF)

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) is a key topic for both legal practitioners and allied legal professionals to be familiar with. It is fundamental for lawyers to understand the legislative framework in order to avoid inadvertently allowing their law practice to be used as a vehicle for money laundering to take place. It is also important from a practical perspective for lawyers to understand their obligations under the legislation and how to apply the Rules in practice to minimise the risk of unwittingly facilitating money laundering activities.

The following e-learning programme will aid practitioners and allied legal professionals in increasing awareness of AML and countering terrorism financing (CTF) via the five modules:

1. Introduction to AML and CTF, with introductions to legislation such as the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act – CDSA, and the Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act (TSOFA)
2. Introduction to the Legal and Regulatory Framework for the Legal Profession to Prevent Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing with highlights on relevant matters subject to the legal and regulatory framework under the Legal Profession Act
3. Obligation to Conduct Customer Due Diligence (CDD) to Prevent Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, and learning about the types of CDD
4. Obligation to Report Suspicious Transactions (STR) to Prevent Money Laundering, with policies and procedures to file an STR
5. Internal Policies, Procedures, Controls and Training for Law Firms to prevent Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, with implement suggestions.
