Edcomm Banker’s Academy introduces a free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) Training for financial institution in Switzerland.

New York, NY, November 21, 2008 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy introduces a free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) training for banks and financial institutions located in Switzerland. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Switzerland offers a comprehensive overview of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financials institutions in the country of Switzerland. Money laundering in Switzerland is a growing problem, despite the strength of the Swiss economy. Today, criminals attempt to launder proceeds in Switzerland from a wide range of illegal activities conducted worldwide, particularly financial crimes, narcotics trafficking, arms trafficking, organized crime, and corruption.

Switzerland has significant AML legislation in place, making banks and other financial intermediaries subject to strict Know Your Customer (KYC) reporting requirements. Switzerland has also implemented legislation for identifying, tracing, freezing, seizing, and forfeiting narcotics-related assets. Legislation that aligns the Swiss supervisory arrangements with the Basel Committee’s Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision is contained in the Swiss Money Laundering Act.

Focus on Anti Money Laundering, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, teaches bank employees about AML laws in their country and familiarizes them with their company’s own policies and procedures. Through this interactive course, students learn everything they need to know to detect and prevent money laundering. Focus on Anti Money Laundering can be customized to meet the needs of every bank, credit union, or MSB. Each course is regularly updated to include changing laws and policies. Recognizing that money laundering can occur anywhere and everywhere, Edcomm Banker’s Academy is prepared to create a course for any country in need.
