New York, NY, May 02, 2011 — Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently updated its free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) training for banks and financial institutions located in the United States. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for the United States has been revised as part of Edcomm Banker’s Academy ongoing commitment to providing the most up-to-date and pertinent information to the financial services industry.

Each year, between $500 billion and a trillion dollars of laundered money is generated through international banks and financial institutions. It is estimated that half of this laundered money is laundered through banks in the USA. In response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, the USA has taken advanced measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 amends the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) by requiring all financial institutions to establish AML programs. The Act is intended to strengthen the USA’s measures to prevent, detect and prosecute money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

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 Money Services Business (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.
