Press Release Summary: The Anti Money Laundering Network is holding a series of
advanced training courses for financial services businesses on Developing An
Effective Money Laundering Risk Matrix.

Press Release Body: The Anti Money Laundering Network is holding a series of
advanced training courses for financial services businesses in Kuala Lumpur,
Singapore, Jakarta and Hong Kong in June 2008.

The one day course is designed to facilitate the development of a risk management
model for specific market sectors tailored to individual companies and their
products.
The course is designed so as to meet the needs of the following businesses:
PIMS - Private Banking, Investment Banking, Merchant Banking and Securities
Businesses plus funds managers for institutional funds. Some commercial bankers may
prefer to attend this version of the course.
RFS - Retail Financial Services: SME banking, personal banking, insurance (life,
pensions and general), unit trusts and related investments, professional firms and
money services businesses including bureaux de change and money transmitters.

The course is in a workshop format. Delegates will produce a model risk matrix and
learn how to construct the data within it, how to weight data and how to use the
results.
Nigel Morris-Cotterill, Head, The Anti Money Laundering Network, will conduct the
workshop. Morris-Cotterill said "A Money Laundering Risk Matrix is an essential tool
for assessing money laundering risk. The concepts are extremely simple: the
execution is extremely complex. At The Anti Money Laundering Network, we have been
constructing Risk Matrices for businesses for more than a decade. Now those
businesses that are not yet clients of our consultancy can gain the benefit of the
insights that that experience brings."
The Risk Matrix is an essential part of the compliance and risk management function.
Some financial institutions have used Risk Matrices that have not identified
sufficient areas of risk - and regulators around the world have imposed substantial
fines on several banks and others.
