Bankhall, part of UK-headquartered Sesame Bankhall Group, is urging directly authorised firms to ensure they invest in thorough training for compliance oversight officers (CF10) and money laundering reporting officers (CF11).

The workshops are being held in locations around the country throughout October and November.

Topics covered by the sessions include:

• The regulatory landscape and framework in which these roles operate.

• How these key roles underpin a firm’s adherence to an effective compliance regime.

• Implementing meaningful TCF [treating customers fairly] monitoring and the management of conduct risk.

• The value of relevant, accurate and robust management information.

• Systems and controls and the approved person’s regime.

• Understanding regulatory reporting requirements.
