National Banking Institute workshop soon

Kathmandu January 24- National Banking Institute (NBI) is organising a one-day national conference on ‘Anti Money Laundering’ on January 27 in Kathmandu.

‘Anti-Money Laundering’ has become one of the most challenging jobs for banks and financial institutions due to changes in regulations from time to time with stringent provisions, increasing various money laundering related risk events, including electronic transactions frauds, usage of various means by money launderers in cleaning the illegally earned money, increasing dependency on technology, et cetera.

Having regard to above, NBI stepped in to organise this international level conference aiming to enable the participants to assess the current gap, formulate the strategies and execute it more effectively in order to save the organisations and staff from money laundering risk, as per a statement issued on Saturday.

 Maha Prasad Adhikari, former deputy governor of Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB); senior officials of NRB and a few CEOs of commercial banks will be the national speakers.

Similarly, Shirish Pathak, CEO of Fintelekt, India; Rahul Oberai, head of South Asia, Accuity; Sangeet Shukla, former deputy managing director of State Bank of India (SBI) and senior advisor of Indian Banks’ Association; Pushpendra Sharma, head of compliance and MLRO, RBL Bank, India; and Abhay Sinha, region head of South Asia and Asia Pacific, 3i Infotech will be the international resource persons in the programme.
