Introduction

Advanced Financial Crime Prevention training

Unprecedented economic growth within the Middle East, and the Gulf states in particular, is
dictating a change in approach to regulation and governance on the part of the financial services industry. As regional hubs compete to become leading international financial centres, the need to adopt best practices and improve management controls in line with international standards becomes ever more important.

The corollary of this rapid growth is the increasing threat posed by financial crime, corrupt practices and other forms of malfeasance. To counter this, IFCCT, in association with our host, the Qatar Financial Centre Authority, is bringing together leading representatives from the public and private sectors to address the spectrum of threats and operational issues facing organisations based in the region.

Participants 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 participants’ questions to be effectively answered with the appropriate technical knowledge and advice.

The expertise participants 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.

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.
