New York, NY, April 30, 2010 — Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently launched a free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) training for banks and financial institutions located in Puerto Rico. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Puerto Rico offers an overview of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financial institutions in this Caribbean country.
The United States (US), responsible for monitoring and regulating Anti Money Laundering (AML) activities in Puerto Rico, has recently begun to focus more on the money laundering threats posed by the commonwealth to the US. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) serves as the US’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and subsequently acts as the FIU for Puerto Rico. Recently, FinCEN designated Puerto Rico as a High Intensity Financial Crime Area (HIFCA). The designation of HIFCAs was outlined in the Money Laundering and Financial Crimes Act of 1998 and put into affect as an addition to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).
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.
