Objectifs

CGSS is an ACAMS certification that equips an organisation’s workforce with a credential that represents a serious commitment to compliance with sanctions, in a world of increasingly complex laws, regulations, and policies. CGSS is global, allowing multinational institutions to strategically and uniformly apply the same programme for all global employees.

This course teaches the crucial sanctions principles all compliance staff should understand and will be of value to those new to sanctions compliance, those looking for a refresher, and those in frontline sanctions positions, teaching skills that benefit both new and experienced professionals, especially as regulator and market expectations around sanctions continue to increase.
Candidates are required to possess a sound knowledge of AML and terrorism preventing, and ideally (but not imperatively) be already an ACAMS certified AML Specialist.

By the end of the courses participants will understand the principles of:

Governance and enforcement
Sanctions related to evasion techniques
Sanctions related to Due Diligence
Sanctions related to screening
Sanctions related to investigations and asset freezing
