By personally assisting clients and providing clear, rigorous, but easy-to-understand advice, documentation and experience-based training I help clients to ensure their AML and Countering Financing of Terrorism (CFT) compliance obligations at both the regulatory and business levels are met. My varied and highly-specialised skill set in this area is unique. By combining my skills and extensive experience I have everything covered when it comes to all things AML/CFT. My skills and experience include:- Assisting firms from many reporting business industries to compile and complete the required regulatory documents to the highest standard. - Training managers and staff in these industries so that ongoing compliance is understood, maintained and everyone understands why compliance is needed. - Completing AML audits to the required standards to identify deficiencies in compliance and identify areas in any business that will benefit from further training and advice. - Leading the investigation of financial crimes, including “money laundering”. - Training investigators in several government agencies (for example, the NZ Police, Aus Police, Customs and Inland Revenue, among others) in the use of AML detection and investigation techniques. www.amlpartners.co.nz Show less
