Advanced Financial Crime Prevention training

In the months following last year’s highly acclaimed Advanced Financial Crime Prevention training course in Doha, a series of high profile failures and incidents within the global financial system, aided by systematic failures at regulatory and supervisory level, have exposed many of the vulnerabilities and weaknesses repeatedly highlighted by IFCCT’s faculty and assembled experts.

The impact of the ensuing global financial crisis on markets in the Middle East has proved, beyond any reasonable doubt, that the region’s financial system and the global economy are intrinsically linked by cause and effect, whereby a host of external factors have the potential to affect everything from energy prices to stocks markets, currencies, liquidity, etc.

In this complex environment, the lines between legitimate and illegitimate actions have become increasingly blurred, with a significant tranche falling into the void. It is clear that the only way to protect the stability of the financial system is through coordinated action between regulators and the regulated.

In light of far reaching supervisory and legislative changes due to be implemented, IFCCT, in association with host, the Qatar Financial Centre Authority, is bringing together leading representatives from the public and private sectors to examine the likely implications for organisations based in the region, in order to address the spectrum of threats and operational issues they face.

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 last year’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 United Nations, 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 and comprehensive training programme 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.
