As every regulated business knows AML-CTF client due diligence [CDD] verification is a critical core aspect of any regulated business’ activities. However, along with many legal issues that CDD investigators need to consider from May 2018 staying compliant with GDPR will also be vital.

Control of all relevant documents is a good starting point for CDD. But what materials do you need to include, retain in the process? And what about the records recording the reasons why you have kept?

On the 13th June 2018, Comsure is hosting a specialist CDD training event, with two expert speakers:-

Jon Blake has over 28 years’ experience as an investigator and covert intelligence operative with the Metropolitan Police Service, New Scotland Yard.
Carol Brooks is a Business Psychologist, entrepreneur and coach having worked in the consultancy and training industry for 15 years

This one day workshop will combine technical knowledge and skills with the human factors that will contribute to you being confident in how you undertake Defensible, Legal and Proportionate CDD for your business.

What does Defensible, Legal and Proportionate CDD mean?

Defensible CDD
1. If challenged, could the decision be defended as legitimate
2. Is there a record of the decision, including when, who, where and when?
3. Is the rationale for the decision recorded?
4. Can records stand scrutiny in a trial or tribunal?
Legal CDD
1. In compliance with the statute, both domestic and international
2. Adhering to court rulings and stated cases
3. Following established legal principles
4. Compliance with contractual agreements with the client or subject of the CDD
Proportionate CDD
1. Is the method of CDD appropriate to the risk and relationship?
2. Is the information required already in our possession (databases, records) or do we have to look for it?
3. Are we using the least invasive method to obtain the information we need that is reasonable in all of the circumstances?
4. What to do with the information once you have it – process, retain, share and destroy?

Workshop outcomes

To understand what CDD processes need to be in place and to ensure decisions are defensible, legal and proportionate, the workshop will aim:
1. To raise awareness of the “investigative mindset” as it can apply to CDD activities, primarily related to risk and psychological biases
2. To consider the ideal skills and knowledge required to carry out CDD and identify any specific gaps in your business
3. To understand and what being proportionate means when carrying out CDD.
4. To identify how methods and procedures may need to change

What to expect from the workshop

Delegates will be
1. able to apply their knowledge, learning and thinking about their current roles.
2. given a “CDD – Defensible, Legal and Proportionate” workbook to use in session and take away for continuous reference
3. be allowed to bring laptops to the workshop to enable participation during these sessions
4. Able to ask Jon and or Carol question and seek advice after the workshop.
5. offered first refusal and discounts at future continuation workshops – Comsure plans on hosting ongoing training through 2018/19
