NEW YORK - AussieJournal -- K2 Integrity, the leading global risk and financial crimes advisory firm, today announced it has developed a training course for financial advisers in partnership with The Institute for Financial Integrity, which is dedicated to empowering today's professionals to protect the global financial system from illicit use. The course will focus on compliance requirements related to anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT).

With a training requirement for financial advisers fast approaching in the next year, this course will provide timely education on AML and CFT compliance requirements tailored to the illicit financing risks the investment adviser industry faces.

Investment advisory firms must begin building and implementing their compliance programs now to be ready in time," remarked Sarah Runge, Executive Managing Director at K2 Integrity.
