New York, NY, June 22, 2010 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently launched a free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) training for banks and financial institutions located in Sri Lanka. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Sri Lanka offers an overview of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financial institutions in this Southern Asian country.

Sri Lanka has passed numerous laws dealing with combating money laundering. In 2005 and 2006, Sri Lanka passed three important acts related to money laundering; The Convention on the Suppression of Terrorist Financing Act, The Prevention of Money Laundering Act and The Financial Transactions Reporting Act (FTR). The most important of these is the FTR Act which established Sri Lanka’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). Recently Sri Lanka’s FIU gained acceptance into The Egmont Group, an association of international FIUs established in 1995.

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.
