New York, NY, January 08, 2009 — Edcomm Banker’s Academy introduces a free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) training for banks and financial institutions located in Italy. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Italy offers an overview of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financial institutions in this Southern European country.
Money laundering in Italy is a growing problem due to the prevalence of homegrown organized crime groups and the recent influx of criminal organizations from abroad. Law 197/31, passed by Italian government in 1991, defines money laundering as a criminal offense when it relates to a separate, intentional felony offense. Italy has strict laws on the control of currency deposits in banks. Italian banks must identify their customers and record and report to Italy’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Italian Exchange Office (UIC), any cash transaction that exceeds approximately $15,000.
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.
