[69]
about regulatory compliance you will learn about the high level
[74]
areas where financial institutions must comply
[77]
in order to stay within the regulations for financial crime
[81]
and anti-money laundering. The information on regulatory compliance that
[86]
i'm sharing with you on this video today are really high level
[90]
but if you are now learning about regulatory compliance
[93]
for banking and financial institutions it should give you a good sense of
[97]
the key areas and then you can learn more about those ones
[101]
in the description of this video where you can see a link
[104]
of the financial conduct authority guidance
[108]
and this is where most of this information are taken from
[112]
the first point that i want to talk about is around systems
[115]
and controls we will go into the details of
[119]
all of the different areas that are in scope
[123]
for the regulatory compliance but just to start with this important that
[128]
you understand that there will be policies and procedures across all these
[133]
different areas that financial institutions must
[136]
maintain updated and easy to access by all the
[140]
staff so this is one point to include in the
[144]
system and controls: having strong policies and procedures
[148]
in place across all the areas of financial crimes.
[152]
within system and controls financial institutions
[155]
must be able to demonstrate that they have
[159]
efficient systems in order to detect their potential risk and they must
[165]
assess therefore those systems and monitor them
[168]
regularly to make sure that they are fit for purpose
[172]
out of all those system management information
[176]
must be created and produced in order to escalate to senior management the
[182]
potential risks faced in money laundering and financial
[186]
crime so it's important that the quality of
[188]
the data that is extracted out of those systems and reported to
[193]
risk committees are accurate and
[197]
are able to demonstrate when there are risks to be identified
[201]
for that financial institution another area to highlighting here is the staff
[206]
training there are trainings rolled out to bank
[209]
staff across the different areas of financial
[213]
crime to make sure that they are updated with the new regulation and any changes
[218]
with the operating model of the financial institutions those are
[222]
compulsory trainings that staff will need to complete on a
[226]
regular basis and demonstrate that they are updated
[229]
with all those aspects one more point within system and
[233]
controls is the risk assessment that must be produced
[237]
to highlight how financial institutions can adopt
[241]
a risk-based approach and how they prioritize
[245]
on the financial crime areas to be focused on
[248]
at present and in the long term let's talk now about the different teams
[254]
and how they operate to make sure the financial institution
[259]
is compliant with the regulations let's start to talk about fraud for example
[264]
which is mainly divided in the two areas the systems to identify
[269]
potential fraud risks and protect the customers
[273]
and and to stop transactions for fraud reason
[276]
and then the internal fraud protection this is where
[279]
the financial institution would maintain under control their staff
[284]
to make sure that there are no potential fraud activities being completed by
[289]
their own staff all those are completed by
[293]
a number of systems and there will be procedures in place to demonstrate that
[298]
they comply with the requirement for fraud
[301]
prevention one more area that i want to cover is
[305]
the sanctions and asset freeze within
[309]
this space financial institutions must ensure that they are not doing business
[315]
or they are not facilitating the transfer of funds
[318]
with entities individuals or countries that are included in the
[324]
economic sanctions list so systems must be in
[328]
place in order to monitor those type of
[332]
activities for customer name screening as well as
[336]
transactions screening when there is identification
[339]
of a true match with any of those entities then there is
[344]
the obligation for the financial institution
[348]
to complete the reporting to the relevant
[350]
jurisdiction in order to comply with economic sanctions requirements those
[356]
were the main elements i wanted to highlight regarding
[359]
regulatory compliance i have taken example of those ones from
[363]
the fca guidance so if you want to find out more
[368]
about those specific areas there is a very user-friendly
[372]
document that is provided by the fca and you can find this in the description
