New York, NY, March 16, 2010 (PressReleasePoint) -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently launched a free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) training for banks and financial institutions located in Columbia. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Columbia offers an overview of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financial institutions in this South American country.

While Colombia is not a regional financial center, the banking sector is mature and well regulated. Comprehensive AML regulations, as well as international cooperation on AML organizations, have allowed the government to refine and improve its ability to combat financial crimes and money laundering. Law 526 of 1999 established Colombia’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the Financial Information and Analysis Unit (Unidad de Información y Análisis Financiero or UIAF). However, money laundering is still a problem, and the UIAF has identified more than 44 techniques for laundering money.

Through this interactive course, students learn everything they need to know to detect and prevent money laundering.
