FICA 2018/19 online course
The FICA Online Course has been reset for the year 2018–2019 and includes the latest information on the FIC Amendment Act, so you will be up to date with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, the Amendment Act, and other anti-money laundering legislation.
The FICA Online Course is an FPI-recognised, interactive online training programme that will cover the following modules:
- Introduction to FICA and other anti-money laundering legislation
- A Risk-Based Approach
- FICA Requirements
- Reporting
- Governance
- Financial Crime
- Roadmap to Implementing the FIC Amendment Act
After working through each module, you will complete an interactive quiz so you can continually assess your level of understanding as you progress through the course.
You can review the content as many times as you like. We estimate that the course content should take you three hours, but you have 30 days to work through the content.
Who should complete this course?
All employees of accountable institutions, however, employees of reporting institutions can also benefit from completing this course. Since the exemptions in terms of FICA have been withdrawn, everyone now needs to become knowledgeable regarding their FICA responsibilities.If you haven't completed the FICA Online Course within the last 12 months, you should complete this course as part of your annual, ongoing FICA training.
