Second session of advanced certificate programme on anti-money laundering to begin in September

Muscat: The Capital Market Authority (CMA) will organise in collaboration with the International Compliance Association (ICA), the second session of the advanced certificate programme in Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Financing Terrorism.

It will be held from September 13 to October 25 via Zoom teleconferencing and will comprise five workshops.  

In continuation of the endeavours to enhance the anti-money laundering and combating financing terrorism efforts in the sectors regulated by the CMA and as part of the companies’ attentiveness to the importance of training the employees on this matter, the event is for the compliance officers of the regulated entities in the capital market and insurance sectors.

The participants will take a test at the end of the programme to obtain professional certification and membership in the ICA for one year qualifying the members to benefit from the literature, training courses and services offered by the ICA.  

The first session of the programme was conducted early this year with a wide turnout and acceptance by the companies and participants.

It is worth noting that the programme is part of the Anti-money laundering and combating financing terrorism programs and workshops executed by the CMA represented by the Anti Money Laundering and Combating Financing Terrorism Department.
Four workshops were already executed in 2002 in collaboration with various entities for awareness purposes among the regulated entities.
