Edcomm Banker’s Academy has made recent updates to its Oman AML training program for 2010.

New York, NY, August 09, 2010 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has made recent updates to its Oman Anti Money Laundering (AML) training program for 2010. Focus on AML for Oman has been revised as part of Edcomm Banker’s Academy’s ongoing commitment to providing the most up-to-date and pertinent financial services information as the banking industry enters a new decade.

In March 2002, a royal decree was issued enacting the Law of Money Laundering. The new law improved the existing money laundering regulations by detailing bank responsibilities, widening the definition of money laundering to include funds obtained through any criminal means, and providing for the seizure of assets and other penalties. The Royal Oman Police (ROP), in coordination with the Central Bank of Oman (CBO), is responsible for investigating money laundering activities. Banks are required to appropriately identify their customers and report all suspicious transactions. Compliance personnel are now present in all banks.

Focus on AML for Oman, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, teaches bank employees about AML laws in Oman and familiarizes them with their company’s own policies and procedures. Through this interactive course, students learn everything they need to know to detect and prevent money laundering. Beginning with an overview AML, the program goes on to cover international money laundering, money laundering in Nigeria and how to prevent, detect and report money laundering. Focus on AML for Oman can be customized to meet the needs of every Bank, Credit Union or Money Services Business (MSB). Each course is regularly updated to include changing laws and policies.
