I. Persons subject to training

Both basic training  and advanced training seminars are aimed at all persons who are active in the field of the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) (see Art. 46 SRO regulations), i.e. persons who:

exercise financial intermediary activities pursuant to Art. 2 Para. 3 AMLA; or
are entrusted with compliance with duties pursuant to Art. 3 et seq. AMLA; or
belong to the member’s special internal department (VQF doc. no. 907.1).

II. Time limits for compliance with duty of training
  
   

	Basic training must be completed by the employee in question within one half year of admission into the VQF SRO, or of entering into financial intermediary activity or from the assignment of an AMLA function.
	Following successful attendance at basic training, persons subject to training must regularly attend an advanced training event  every two years.

III. Training goals

The main goal of training is to ensure that each participant is aware of the duties imposed by the AMLA and is in a position to comply with and correctly implement these duties at all times. At the same time, members must be kept up to date, in a practical manner, with the latest jurisdiction, insights, developments and trends in the entire AMLA field.
