Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Course Content
Generating over US$150 billion each year, modern slavery and human trafficking represent the third largest source of criminal profits globally. Much of that profit moves through the global financial system. As a result, there are growing expectations and requirements on the financial sector to identify, report, mitigate, and remedy modern slavery and human trafficking risks. The ACAMS Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking training course provides an introduction to the steps that financial sector actors should take to meet these expectations.
In this concise, online Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking training course, we cover anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism obligations, environmental social governance (ESG), human rights, and enterprise risk management. Course content draws on recent cases and provides insights from industry leaders.
