Client Need
One of our top clients, a major financial institution in the UAE, offers a variety of high-quality financial services and products that comply with Islamic Sharia across the UAE and the region. They wanted to invest in their human capital and offer them an online training program on anti-money laundering to spread awareness about it and teach employees how to implement AML practices and procedures at their workplace.
Our Solution
MENTOR has created an online course about Anti-Money Laundry and developed a content which focused on teaching participants detailed practical knowledge on handling daily customer relationships and transactions with full awareness of the risks of money laundering and a better ability to detect such activity.
The course also tackled basic concepts of money laundering, its impact, key controls to combat it, ways to detect money laundering methods and techniques and ways to handle suspicious customers and transactions.
Our course also helped participants to:
