The not-for-profit global membership body the CISI and MF, the flagship organisation representing operators of the Financial Services Industry, have partnered to create an online cost-effective AML/CTF Professional Assessment to support licensees of the Financial Services Commission (FSC)and other regulatory bodies in Mauritius in meeting their training mandate. Under the 2018 Financial Intelligence and Anti-Money Laundering Act (FIAMLA) and FIAMLA Regulations, financial institutions are required to provide annual AML/CFT training to all employees and this course comes at the right time to meet members needs accordingly.

The CISI/MF gold-standard Professional Assessment consists of an online learning workshop and test, providing a unified record of compliance. A minimum three hours of studying is recommended for the module before attempting to answer the 24-question test with a pass mark of 75%.
MF will also work in partnership with the CISI to distribute the online IntegrityMatters test, designed to make users aware of the need to act with integrity when making decisions in the workplace. The IntegrityMatters test offers users six dilemmas based on real life examples from the financial sector, with each dilemma evolving over a series of steps. Over 60,000 IntegrityMatters tests have been taken globally.
The AML/CFT Professional Assessment and IntegrityMatters test will be available via a MF’s website at www.mauritiusfinance.com.
