Objectifs

This programme is designed to deliver a greater understanding of the necessary AML and Due Diligence measures required to minimize the threat to those in the Real Estate/Private Equity Sector.

PE Firms face two key risks in relation to money laundering:

  • The first is being used to facilitate financial crime, including money laundering in the context of fundraising with the requirement to review systems and controls in these areas
  • and the second are the risks in transactional activity and the risk of criminal money laundering offences.

The additional purpose of this training programme is to raise awareness among professionals about the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing in the RE/PE sector, but also to provide a breakdown of the international guidance to real estate agents and real estate developers to enable them to avoid transactions linked to a risk of money laundering and terrorist financing.

This key training programme provides an interactive experience for employees within the RE/PE sector to identify the key requirements and obligations they must undertake to avoid the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as the requirements to remain vigilant to the evolving complexities and risks. This blended learning programme has been designed to combine the instructor delivering the session with input and discussion with the students.

Nevertheless, prospective investors based in, or with funds based in, a higher-risk third country should be subject to more stringent due diligence measures.
