AML AND CORRESPONDENT BANKING RELATIONSHIP

COURSE SUMMARY

As financial crime becomes increasingly sophisticated and regulations continue to evolve, financial institutions must maintain effective Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CTF) programs that are risk-based, technology-enabled, and aligned with international regulatory expectations. This five-day AML Training Program is designed to provide participants with practical knowledge of current AML/CTF regulations, emerging financial crime risks, and industry best practices for building and maintaining an effective compliance program.

The program examines the evolution of U.S. and international AML regulations, including the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AMLA 2020), FinCEN's National AML/CFT Priorities, and the development of AML legislation in Vietnam. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of compliance culture, corporate governance, sanctions compliance, correspondent banking risks, and the regulatory expectations for an effective and reasonably designed AML/CTF program.

The course also explores the modernization of AML programs through enterprise-wide risk assessments, advanced transaction monitoring, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and machine learning technologies. Participants will learn practical approaches to strengthening customer due diligence, risk management, financial crime investigations, and responses to law enforcement inquiries while addressing the challenges of emerging digital financial services.

Through real-world case studies, interactive discussions, and a site visit to a U.S. bank or money transmitter, participants will gain valuable insights into the implementation of effective AML compliance programs, transaction monitoring systems, and governance practices. The training emphasizes practical application and equips participants with the knowledge and tools needed to strengthen their institution's AML/CTF framework and respond effectively to today's evolving financial crime risks.

Target Audience
Compliance officers, AML professionals, risk managers, internal auditors, investigators, banking and money services business (MSB) professionals, fintech and payment service providers, regulators, and senior executives responsible for AML/CTF governance.
