Introduction to Trade Finance

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Course Description

Trade is not without risk for buyers and sellers, and international trade has certain features that enhance that risk.

In a globally interconnected world trade has become a part of our daily lives. This prominent feature of the global economy has developed and matured over hundreds of years and is a tribute to human ingenuity to cooperate for mutual benefit. However, trade is not without risk for buyers or sellers and international trade has certain features that enhance that risk. Banks have traditionally played a crucial role as facilitators to mitigate the risks inherent to international trade. This training will review features of international trade, focus on the financing of trade and in particular on the role that banks play.

The Introduction to Trade Finance e-learning course has especially been designed by subject matter experts to provide banking professionals with an overview of Trade Finance and the role of Financial Institutions.

Fraud Awareness

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Course Description

It may surprise you to learn that fraud in Australia is higher than the international average, arising in more than half of organisations. This costs the economy billions of dollars and organisations an average of $3 million. In addition, fraud can cause a loss of reputation and eventual loss of business profitability.

The most powerful anti-fraud weapon are educated and aware employees. The Salt Fraud course educates employees as to the types of behaviour that constitutes fraud, and provides a comprehensive list of fraud indicators to foster internal monitoring.

Building a culture of awareness and responsibility can reduce the risk of fraud and increase detection rates, thereby reducing the monetary and other costs of fraud.

Who is this training for?

The Salt Fraud course is tailored such that it is relevant to a diverse range of employees. This is because any person within an organisation is capable of committing fraud. This course is hence a valuable and appropriate tool for staff at all levels within an organisation, ranging from front-line staff to management.

  • Module 1: What is fraud?
  • Module 2: Fraud risks
  • Module 3: Common fraud schemes

Course Description

Training for staff on GDPR personal data protection and GDPR compliance to avoid GDPR fines

Product Description

The standard of privacy and security of personal information has never been higher. Meeting your General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) obligations isn’t just a matter of GDPR compliance, it’s a matter of consumer confidence.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) harmonises privacy law and data processing practice across the EU. But it doesn’t just apply to EU businesses – if you do any business in the EU or collect or use personal information of any individuals located in the EU, you need to comply with the GDPR or you’ll face heavy penalties. Staff at all levels need to understand the importance of privacy policy and the penalties for breaching GDPR.

Who is this training for?

This training is suitable for staff at any level of your organisation, especially those who collect or handle personal information, or as a refresher for Data Protection Officers.
