Conducting an effective and efficient training or webinar is paramount for facilitators. A facilitator’s method and demeanour while conducting a training or webinar will either make or mar the facilitator’s reputation. It is therefore imperative that facilitators understand the rudiments of training and webinar presentation. As an institution highly experienced in the provision of Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) trainings and webinars for several institutions both in Nigeria and Africa, DataPro Limited has developed this Code as a guide for effective training delivery. -
The concept behind compliance is to ensure that businesses act responsibly in their daily operations. Financial Institutions and Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions in Nigeria are saddled with the responsibility of complying with laws and regulations set by relevant regulatory and statutory bodies. This is to help them avoid issues with regulators and operate without hassle. Non-compliance can have damning consequences on an institution, such as reputational damage, financial sanctions, litigation, and at worst, collapse of the business. This book has been written for accountable institutions operating in Nigeria, to aid their understanding of their sector’s compliance obligations in line with relevant laws and regulations. -
In line with evolving regulatory expectations, particularly the Financial Action Tasks Force (FATF) Guidance on Beneficial Ownership and Transparency of Legal Persons and Legal Arrangements, Financial Institutions (FIs) and Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) including Tax Authorities are required to adopt robust methodologies for identifying Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs).Unveiling UBOs requires a structured, multi-layered approach that identifies natural persons who ultimately own or control legal entities or arrangements. This includes ownership chain analysis, document verification, and the use of advanced tools such as AI-powered RegTech solutions to address complex ownership structures.Our April Open House Program has therefore been packaged to train Compliance Officers, Solicitors, Issuing Houses, Registrars, Reporting Accountants, Auditors, Tax Authorities, Trustees, and other professionals involved in Complex Financial Transactions about the risks and controls required for unveiling the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBOs) as demanded by extant AML/CFT/CPF Compliance laws and Regulations.
