Overview

It is essential for banks and financial institutions to ensure that activities are compliant with current legislation and regulatory standards given the rise in money laundering, corruption and fraud cases. Failure to ensure customer due diligence as part of the client-onboarding process can pose significant risks to banks and financial institutions.

This module looks into building knowledge of the Singapore regulatory structure and supervisory framework. Participants will gain familiarity with relevant laws, regulations, trends and development pertaining to corporate banking, and awareness of compliance procedures and practices to ensure compliance with relevant legislation and regulatory requirements. They will also learn how to gather relevant client information needed to perform Know Your Customer, Anti-Money Laundering, Customer Due Diligence (KYC/ AML/ CDD) checks and fraud assessments as part of customer acceptance checking and onboarding procedures.

This module is stackable towards a certification for the role of Assistant Relationship Manager/ Relationship Management Associate.
