About MLRO 3 R’s

Money laundering is the process by which criminals disguise the original ownership and control of the proceeds of criminal conduct by making such proceeds appear to have derived from a legitimate source. It is a crime that impacts the society and the financial situation of the nation. To combat the same, government has set up Governing Bodies, different Laws and Regulations.

Money service businesses (MSBs) are major targets of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML & TF) activities. To be able to detect, be extra vigilant and to report any activity that sounds suspicious of money laundering, every MSB should have a system in place. This system is manned by a money laundering reporting officer (MLRO).  

MSBs can be held liable for not reporting any suspicious activity to the National Crime Agency, related to the ML / TF, even after having information or suspect about money laundering or terrorist financing activity. Therefore, it becomes extremely important for the MLRO to be totally aware of the most recent trend in money laundering and the process of reporting a suspicious activity.

In the course titled - “MLRO 3 R’s”, you will be mentored on the prerequisites of becoming an MLRO.  You will also be guided through the process of customer due diligence (CDD) and when to conduct enhanced due diligence (EDD).
