Fundamentals of Know Your Client (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) in Johor
Build Real-World Sanctions Capability with International Recognition
This course is built for professionals who need to understand, manage, and mitigate sanctions-related risks.
The AGRC Certificate in Sanctions Compliance covers multilateral and unilateral sanctions regimes, OFAC rules, EU-Russia case studies, SWIFT-based screening, fuzzy logic, and real-world sanctions evasion techniques.
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.
KYC/CDD is a critical element for effectively managing the risks posed by potential clients, thus protecting the organization against criminals, terrorists, and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) who might present a higher risk, and possible dubious actions by existing customers that need to be regularly reassessed.
This course provides essential knowledge for KYC and CDD procedures, both key tools in assessing customer risk and a legal requirement to comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CFT) laws. Effective KYC/CDD involves knowing a customer’s identity and their financial activities, ongoing monitoring of business activities, and identifying and mitigating the AML/CFT risk a business relationship may pose on a regulated entity.
