Verafin Deploys Anti Money Laundering Training From Edcomm Banker’s Academy

USA (SANEPR.com) June 29, 2009 -- Verafin has recently deployed Edcomm Banker’s Academy’s extensive Anti Money Laundering (AML) training program for Canada. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Canada offers an in-depth review of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financial institutions in this Northern American country.

Money laundering is a growing problem in Canada. In recent years, important changes have been made to legislation to ensure that a strong, comprehensive and operational Anti Money Laundering (AML) system is in place. Canada’s regulatory legislation, Bill C-25, has further expanded the reach of the law to new reporting entities, fine-tuned many of the recordkeeping and customer identification practices and added a major level of customer due diligence (CDD) through the introduction of risk assessment requirements and the need to monitor for politically exposed foreign persons (PEPs). This has been implemented at the same time as the release of the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) latest evaluation of Canada’s Regime and significant changes in the senior management team at Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC).

Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Canada, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, teaches bank employees about AML laws in their country and familiarizes them with their company’s own policies and procedures and is regularly updated to include changing laws and policies. . Focus on Anti Money Laundering can be customized to meet the needs of every bank, Credit Union, or Money Services Business (MSBs). Recognizing that money laundering can occur anywhere and everywhere, Edcomm Banker’s Academy can create a course for any country in need.
