AML/CFT Certificate Course - Nepal

Driving a Culture of Compliance and Risk Management

NBI, partnering with Fintelekt, India, has introduced e-based AML/CFT Certificate course in Nepal aiming to enhance the knowledge of the workforce at Banks, Finance Companies, Insurance Companies, Remittance Companies, Cooperatives, Securities and other Financial Institutions on Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Combating Financing of Terrorism (CFT).

Fintelekt is an experienced provider of industry-reviewed, high quality, practical and cost- effective compliance e-learning products in India and Sri Lanka, through traditional and mobile platforms, which help organizations to reduce their risk, improve staff awareness and drive a culture of compliance in a sustainable manner.

What Value can it Bring?

Compliance with AML and CFT regulations is an on-going effort for financial institutions.

Implementing a high quality, yet cost- effective training program across all levels of staff can substantially reduce risks for the institution.

The AML/CFT Certificate Course can help:

  • Educate staff on fundamental concepts related to AML and CFT.
  • Make staff aware of red flag indicators and suspicious behaviour that may be experienced when dealing with customers.
  • Understand the reporting actions to be taken by the individual and the institution.

The AML/CFT Certificate Course has been developed after in-depth consultations with industry practitioners and AML experts in Nepal.

A Common Challenge

Faced by most institutions is the difficulty in conveying continuously to their staff the true risks of handling the proceeds of crime, and as a result expose their institution, management and staff to penalties by regulators and law enforcement agencies.
