role to fulfil in safeguarding the reputation of their firm and minimizing the threat. So it is vital that all be
fully trained with the necessary skills and knowledge.

This two-day workshop intends to build upon the previous workshops in this area as Anti-Money
Laundering, and Counter Terrorist Financing is such a dynamic area.
The programme has been designed together with the Seychelles Financial Services Authority
(FSA) and Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to ensure its relevance to the Seychelles legal and
regulatory framework.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
MAYBE A RECENT TESTIMONIAL
MAY ANSWER THE QUESTION

“The mention of compliance training to the majority of staff will result in groans, moans and excuses for not attending. However, add the magic words “being presented by Mathew Beale”, and suddenly there is a queue to attend.
Mathew makes the mundane interesting and without scaring the attendees manages to make them aware of the pitfalls and consequences of non-compliance. Valla Limited is happy to recommend his services to all in need of training and refresher courses in this highly complex area.”
