Story

The service is not intended to replace the established certification companies which concentrate on compliance. Morris-Cotterill takes the view that compliance should be the servant of risk not its master. 

"Law and Regulation provides the backdrop for how regulated businesses create their internal systems to detect and deter financial crime such as money laundering, bribery and corruption. All over the world, laws make it the duty of every citizen, resident of and even visitor to countries not only to avoid becoming involved in a money laundering or terrorist financing scheme but to report it when they see it. In most countries, that reporting requirement is in the law but it is not enforced. 

"In the regulated sector - which includes banks, fintechs, securities houses and many insurance companies, as well as a wide range of ancillary business services - companies must put a regulatory regime in place. There are many providers of courses about that. Indeed, I present face to face courses about that. The new service touches on those subjects, simply for the sake of completeness and so that we are all starting from the same point and moving in the same direction.

"The course is challenging; it is designed to be difficult - not difficult to read or understand, but difficult to reconcile with commonly held views. The fact is that the entire financial crime field is full of dis- and mis-information. The course was created with the specific purpose of developing critical thinking in relation to the entire structure of risk and, from a principles-based approach, compliance."

An article about the history of financial crime e-learning and Morris-Cotterill's part in it is on his website, www.countermoneylaundering.com.
