Under the PMLFTR, all Subject Persons, including those operating within the regulated financial services sector, are obligated to appoint a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO).

Description:

Basel III represents a global regulatory framework governing bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Initially established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision between 2010 and 2011, the implementation timeline for the Accord was extended until March 31, 2019. Basel III bolsters bank capital requirements by enhancing liquidity standards and reducing leverage.
Unlike its predecessors, Basel I and II, Basel III mandates distinct reserve levels for various deposit types and borrowing categories. Rather than replacing previous standards, it operates in conjunction with them. Navigating this complex and evolving regulatory environment can be challenging; our course and training programs are designed to help you anticipate and manage these changes and their effects on your institution. As an accredited training partner of the Basel Certification Institute, we guarantee that our training materials and content remain current and effective.
