    There has been a significant increase in the complexity and volume of regulation underpinning compliance in the area of financial crime prevention. Consequently, practitioners operating in this complex environment have to fulfil their fiduciary responsibilities of ensuring ethical and legal compliance within this regulatory environment while contributing to wider organisational objectives.

    Awarding Body

    University College Dublin

    Who is it for?

    • The role of the Head of Compliance PCF-15 and the new role introduced in 2022 by the Central Bank of Ireland PCF-52 (Head of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terroist Financing Compliance), often the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) in a regulated firm, are both pre-approval control functions under the Central Bank Fitness and Probity regime. MLROs within firms carry serious legal responsibilities and those who fill the roles must know and understand what these responsibilities are.

    • Relevant law and standards apply both at a domestic and international level and material breaches can result in personal accountability for MLROs as well as significant reputational damage and fines for financial services firms. The wider damage caused by financial or white collar crime to individuals, communities and the public at large is immeasurable. Effective prevention of fraud and financial crime, combined with thorough investigation if and when it does arise, yields very positive outcomes.

    • The certificate has been designed in consultation with the Garda Bureau of Fraud investigation and the Suspicious Transactions Unit in the Office of the Revenue Commissioners.
