Tipping Off

UK
Tipping off someone about a money laundering or terrorist financing investigation is a criminal offence, and complying with the law can mean delaying a transaction without being able to explain why. This 10-minute express module helps staff understand the risk of tipping off and deal with customers under investigation without disclosing anything they should not.
This is one of the few compliance situations where the natural, helpful response is the illegal one. An employee explaining a delay to an irritated customer can commit an offence with a single sentence. Training staff on what they can and cannot say protects them personally and preserves an investigation that would otherwise be compromised at the counter.

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing
Laundering exploits the seams between jurisdictions, moving value through the entity with the weakest controls in a group. A consistent standard everywhere removes that opportunity. Training all staff, not only the financial crime function, gives your organisation the detection coverage that transaction monitoring alone cannot provide, and meets the training obligation that appears in virtually every AML regime.
Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing E-learning Course
Money laundering offences carry personal criminal liability, and failing to report a suspicion is itself an offence in the UK. Suspicion is usually formed by someone noticing that an explanation does not hold together. Training all staff rather than only the financial crime team gives your firm the detection coverage its systems cannot provide, and supports the training obligation under the Money Laundering Regulations.
Economic Sanctions
Sanctions lists change without notice and often at short political notice, which means knowledge dates faster here than in almost any other compliance area. Liability frequently attaches regardless of intent. A short annual refresher keeps staff alert to the fact that yesterday's acceptable counterparty may not be today's, and reinforces the habit of escalating rather than assuming.
