The Course

Since IFCCT presented its last Caribbean regional course in The Cayman Islands in June 2007 the global financial system has been shaken by a series of high profile incidents which have highlighted the importance not only of greater vigilance, but the urgent ongoing need for improvements to risk management systems. Hence, IFCCT is returning to the region to present an updated programme designed to assist those directly involved in countering serious internal and external threats.

The challenge posed by ever more sophisticated and eleborate fraud typologies can only be effectively met by adaptation of internal practices and systems to bring them in line with international best practice. IFCCT’s Advanced Financial Crime Prevention Training Course, which closely follows recent FATF directives and initiatives, includes both new, interactive delegate case studies and strategies for early detection of, and effective recovery from, criminal financial activity.

The Caribbean & The Americas Advanced Financial Crime Prevention Training Course will specifically address pertinent threats and operational risks facing organisations based in the region, including that posed by trans-national organised crime. Delegates will receive intensive training from leading international practitioners and experts carefully selected on the basis of their extensive local and international practical working experience.

The course’s dynamic and interactive format is designed to allow detailed and specific working problems to be addressed and delegates’ questions to be effectively answered with the appropriate technical knowledge and advice. The expertise delegates acquire on the course will significantly increase their and their organisations’ abilities to anticipate organisational threats. Improved understanding of the strategic considerations, resulting in the improvement of internal systems, will help organisations to become more robust in resisting persistent external and internal threats, maintain their integrity and preserve their reputations.

The course will be as important a starting point for those who were unable to attend the Cayman’s meeting, as it will be an opportunity for those who did, to update their knowledge and return to their roles fully equipped with the expertise necessary to operate with maximum efficiency.


Unparalleled Expertise

IFCCT courses enjoy the close backing and endorsement of major international organisations and institutions, such as the FATF, World Bank, OECD, Council of Europe, European Commission, FBI, FSA, Interpol and US Federal Reserve. IFCCT’s hugely popular winning formula utilises the unparalleled expertise inherent in such organisations and combines it with that of their regional and domestic counterparts to provide a unique advanced learning and interactive experience.

IFCCT’s systematic, intensive, risk-based approach, is predicated on imparting a more comprehensive understanding of the main areas of organisational vulnerability. Designed to improve operational performance, provide practical solutions and significantly improve the internal prevention and detection systems as well as being internationally compliant, the course endorses the view that staff responsible for fraud and financial crime prevention should be dedicated experts.

Delegates completing the course will be trained to identify and implement an effective fraud prevention regime.

The course is certificated.
