WORKSHOPS

This CISI qualification provides a global view of financial crime, examining money laundering, terrorist financing, bribery, corruption and fraud, along with a greater international focus and an emphasis on the practitioner response. The CCL exam study workshop has been designed to provide attendees with a comprehensive summary of all the key material found in the CISI workbook and prepare them for the hour long 50 question exam. It is highly interactive, and participants will be invited to discuss the material as well as illustrative real-life case studies in order to gain a practical understanding of the workbook content. Each unit ends with a selection of open-ended and multiple choice revision questions, and there is an hour-long mock exam at the end of the last day - 50 multiple choice questions under exam conditions.

The scope of financial crime is such that the workshop is suitable for professionals working within the financial services industry including Compliance officers and Money Laundering Reporting officers, those involved in regulation, law enforcement, trade and commerce and individuals from bi-lateral development institutions and civil society organisations.
