ESG

ESG – Singapore Financial Services

An IBF Accredited Course

Product Description
Implementing ESG principles in Singapore financial services organisations. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) encourages organisations to act responsibly on environmental and social issues in the way they operate and do business. Underpinned by effective governance, this course illuminates the benefits of ESG – not only for businesses, investors, and consumers, but also for the planet and broader society.

This is an informative three-module course which provides a unique opportunity for organisations to upskill and enhance their employees’ understandings of ESG.

Framing the issue of climate change as a corporate concern, Module 1 will increase understandings of how organisations can ensure their operations are environmentally friendly. Module 2 will illuminate the role organisations play in creating a more equal society. The challenges of modern slavery and geopolitics are conveyed in an informative and effective manner, prompting learners to reflect on the importance of social governance.

Concluding with Module 3, this module will enhance employees’ knowledge of the least understood yet most important dimension of ESG – governance. Learners will understand how different features of organisations can promote good governance.

Who should do this training?
This compliance training course is designed for all employees and employers alike. ESG is only effective when it is implemented by diverse stakeholders across entire supply chains. Boards of directors, managers, and employees all have a part to play in ensuring an organisation is sustainable, equitable and promotes good governance.

Fraud awareness – International ver.

The most powerful anti-fraud weapon are educated and aware employees.

Fraud exists in almost every workplace, regardless of the type of industry, the size of the organisation and even the job role of the employee. It also often goes undetected by other employees. However, when fraud comes to light, it is more likely to be detected by a tip-off from colleagues than by any other means.

The cost fraud brings to an organisation is enormous and rising every year.

A recent global study by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners found that in 2018 fraud resulted in over $9 billion in losses, with 22% of cases costing over $1 million. Fraud was not limited to large businesses: small businesses lost almost twice as much per scheme to fraud as businesses with over 100 employees. It is therefore crucial that all staff in all organisations know how to recognise fraud and who to report it to.

Prevalent fraud not only costs the organisation but it also carries large fines and penalties for the individual.
This course teaches employees the following:

  • How to identify fraud in the workplace.
  • Understanding the consequences of fraud for both the fraudster and the organisation.
  • Preventing fraud from occurring.
  • Report fraud where it is suspected to occur.

Building a culture of awareness and responsibility can reduce the risk of fraud and increase detection rates, thereby reducing the monetary and other costs of fraud.

The training features advanced graphical interactions and video-secenarios to illustrate the material and relate it to learner’s work experience.

Who should do this training?

The course should be completed by all employees of reporting entities (including those involved in compliance and risk management functions) that offer services such as:

  • providing bank account-related services

  • stockbroking

Trade Based Money Laundering

Course Description

Trade Based Money Laundering is the latest challenge in international money laundering law enforcement.

As the financial community becomes more experienced in recognising and preventing traditional money laundering methods, such as large cash deposits, criminals have explored other means to scrub their ill-gotten gains. International trade and trade instruments are often used as vehicles to launder criminal money.

Businesses involved in international trade need to be vigilant to ensure their trades are not compromised by criminal elements infiltrating their organisations.

Banks need to be aware of the risks to their reputation should their services be found to have facilitated the process of money-laundering.

The sheer volume and international nature of trade can create a cloak of complexity and lack of transparency that financial criminals seek to exploit. This course has been designed by subject matter experts to provide an overview of trade-based money laundering (TMBL) risks. It introduces the core principles and features of TBML and outlines the various methods and techniques used by criminals. It gives a clear explanation of various TBML typologies and supplies practical insights into how to identify money laundering red flags.

Who should do this training?

This course is suitable for

  • banking professionals, particularly client-facing employees,
  • as well as risk management analysts and AML compliance officers across banks and businesses that trade internationally.
