The course will provide participants with the tools needed to identify gaps, strengthen controls, prepare for regulatory inspections and supervisory reviews, confidently respond to interviews and information requests, and develop a practical action plan aligned with FATF standards, recent global mutual evaluation trends, and evolving regulatory expectations.
