New York, NY (OPENPRESS) January 18, 2011 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently launched a free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) training for banks and financial institutions located in Serbia. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Serbia offers an overview of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financial institutions in this Southern European country.

In July 2002, the Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering was created. The Law, also known as the AMLL, was later revised in 2005 and again in 2009 in order to accommodate the number of financial entities that are required to collect important information and file Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs). CTRs must be filed with Serbia’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the Administration for the Prevention of Money Laundering Serbia (APML), for all cash transactions exceeding 15,000 EUR. In addition, any suspicious transactions must be reported to the APML, regardless of the amount.

Focus on Anti Money Laundering, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, teaches bank employees about AML laws in their country 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. Focus on Anti Money Laundering 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. Recognizing that money laundering can occur anywhere and everywhere, Edcomm Banker’s Academy is prepared to create a course for any country in need.
