This novel approach will be offered in three 4-hour
sessions on June 22, 24 and 26. We are working closely with both of BAFT’s Workshop Planning Committees to deliver these programs in unison to maximize the value for attendees and speakers through a unique new online format. This workshop is approved by a variety of accreditation institutions for CPD credits including ACAMS, BAFT, the ICC Academy and the London Institute of Banking & Finance (LIBF) with the potential to earn a total of 12 credits for the entire workshop. Please check below for the relevant qualifications and certifications that credits are available for.
The workshops offer a deeper dive into Letters of Credit (LC) related topics, and their smaller size optimizes interactive discussions amongst attendees and speakers. In addition to covering what is new in LC’s, each year the topics change and range from compliance, trade-based money laundering (TBML), technology, SWIFT updates and much more.
