A free tutorial that provides AML training for banks and financial institutions in Botswana is now available from Edcomm Banker’s Academy.
New York, NY, April 24, 2009 – A free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) training for banks and financial institutions located in Botswana is now available from Edcomm Banker’s Academy. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Botswana offers an overview of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financial institutions in this Southern African country.
In 2003, the Government of Botswana enacted the Banking (AML) Regulations. According to the regulations, banks are required to record and verify the identification of all personal and corporate customers. Banks must maintain all records on transactions, both domestic and international, for at least five years. These regulations also require banks to report suspicious transactions and to designate an employee at the management level as a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO). The MLRO serves as a contact between financial institutions, the Central Bank and the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC).
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.
