INTRODUCTION
As
per FATAF’s International Guidelines, The Board of Directors of any financial
institution has a fiduciary duty towards the organization to ensure that there
is a robust compliance program in place. The Board needs to set “the Tone from
the Top”, establish an effective control framework and effectively promote a
“culture of compliance”. A high-risk compliance responsibility entails the flow
of critical information to risk committees and boards and should be of relevance
to the overall governance purpose. Senior management in most financial
institutions have well-established procedures and policies for dealing with
overall operational risk’s like credit risk or market risk, but the practice of
dealing with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) risk is
yet to mature. The AML/KYC compliance looks into transfer or conversion of
illicit gotten sources (black money) to legally accessible/taxable (white money)
funds, primarily using the financial institutions as a conduit for concealment
and disguise activities to happen.
Technically
speaking, Board members are not required to be experts at AML knowhow, but, it’s
highly recommended and comes as industry best practice for BoD’s to acquire an
understanding of fundamental aspects of AML Risk Control Framework, in order to
effectively exercise their oversight responsibilities, as mandated by almost all
the national financial regulatory authorities. Under this understanding of the
regulatory environment in which the firm operates, the Board of Directors and
Sr. Management must have a basic working knowledge of applicable regulations,
including relevant requirements around the globe.
This
course will give the BoD’s and Sr. Mgmt. an understanding of the said framework
and will prove to be a means to appreciate the law enforcement mechanisms
working to maintain such said equilibrium and the resultant consequences of
non-compliance with these regulations viz. Reputation management, Shareholder’s
interests, legal ramifications, consequences of adherence failures, etc. This
training course designed for the Board Members, Heads of sub-committees and the
Senior Management will equip them to have a clear compliance understanding
towards transparency and visibility of the enterprise-wide compliance operations
and adherence duties.
