OVERVIEW
This case-study filled training helps equip the law enforcers, regulators, and investigators to trace the journey of crime proceeds in various forms entering and leaving Singapore.
This one-day training will cover how money is moved around the world without moving the actual currencies; the various funds transfer systems, international standards on identifying financial instruments, financial institutions, and accounts. As scam centres have mushroomed in Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand, following the money trails could lead law enforcements to where they are.
On the softer side, this training will also cover the three stages of money laundering. Understanding it will help detect, curtail, and confiscate the criminal exploits in the world of finance. Last but not least, this training will cover some existing resources that can expedite law enforcement actions.
