Our Solutions

If you have a training need on your hands, we will create a solution for you!

No matter how unique or unconventional your requirements, we're willing to give it a go, so drop us a mail and see what we can do!

Here are some samples of what we have created for our clients.

Black into White 2009

Our investment banking client was frustrated because despite a lot of fruitless searching they couldn't find a Money Laundering training film that suited their needs. What they found was either not customised enough and too generic or was not up to date.

Also they felt that existing products were not challenging enough or intelligent enough for their traders and account managers.

Therefore, we created a film that would exactly suit their needs.

 
It featured:
icon A complex case study involving a large institutional client that laundered $145m over 5 years through the process of layering
icon BBC documentary style reporting format with interviews with key members of staff such as the Relationship Manager, Head of Settlements, Fixed Income trader, Equity Salesman.
 

The response that we got was fantastic. Employees who watched the training film thought that they were watching a real documentary about a real UK bank and had a higher retention rate.

In addition we rolled out this film to other investment banks who have been thrilled with the product.

We have now updated the film to include SOCA reporting and the Third EU Money Laundering Directive. Additionally it is available online through web-streaming and with an online Q&A that employees can complete and the result collated and sent to a designated contact in the bank

PRODUCT/SERVICE
Square Mile Videos provides Compliance officers with high quality compliance and Anti-Money Laundering Training products for use in their annual training of employees. We also offer bespoke video production services.
Black into White
Our main product is a 20 minute documentary-style Anti-Money Laundering training film entitled Black into White. This is an update on the original film Black into White which was made in 2005.

The rights to the original film were bought by Square Mile Videos in 2008 and the film was re-edited to take into account:
icon SOCA reporting
icon Third EU Money Laundering Directive and the Money Laundering Regulations 2007
icon Current financial climate
In addition, the product was relaunched with the addition of a 3 minute film section entitled: ‘Reporting your suspicions and Due diligence’ which summarises the main points and legislation of the film and with an online Question and Answer section for employees to complete to demonstrate their understanding of the film.
 
Dirty Money
We also have an introductory Anti-Money Laundering film entitled Dirty Money that was recut from the original film Black into White. Through the use of animation and stock footage, we have created a product that is suitable for new starters and for back office staff.
 
Black into White (20 mins)
Black Into White 2009 is an anti-money laundering training video made specifically for the wholesale financial market.
SOCA – Serious Organised Crime Agency is a division of the Metropolitan Police that is in charge of Money Laundering and other gang-related activity. It replaces the previous organisation called NCIS (National Criminal Intelligence Service).
image Filmed in the style of a BBC Panorama documentary about a fictitious British investment bank, Winsleau International, Black into White lays bare the chain of events which led to the imprisonment of eight people for their involvement in a multimillion pound Eastern European money-laundering operation in Britain.
image Through realistic interviews with former employees of Winsleau International and with the Financial Times columnist who broke the story, Black into White aims to uncover how this was allowed to happen, why no-one at the bank reported anything suspicious and ultimately where the responsibility lay.
Features:   Characters interviewed:
icon Voiceover by Channel 5 News reader, Rob Butler
icon Interviews with front and back office investment banking staff
icon Relationship manager
icon Head of Settlements
icon Equity Salesman
icon Fixed Income Trader
icon CEO
 
The reason why Black into White is the market leading film is that the scenario it shows is based on the operations of investment banks and other wholesale banking organisations. It features characters in roles that would be familiar to employees of investment banks and that they would be able to identify with.
Dirty Money (15mins)
Dirty Money
An introductory Money Laundering Training Video
image

At 08:50 on the 7th of July 2005, three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later at 09:47 in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 56 people including the four suicide bombers and injured 700. Could this have been prevented?

Dirty Money establishes the links between terrorists and money launderers and explains how employees’ failure to detect and report suspected money launderers can lead to serious consequences for themselves and others.

The film also covers Anti Money Laundering Regulations and employees’ responsibilities.
 
Features:
• Three sections: Client Due Diligence, Ongoing Checks and The Law
• Animated sections detailing what employees responsibilities are
• Three Case studies involving front and back office investment banking staff
Online Testing and Reporting Facility
image The final component of the training is the online Question and Answer. This consists of an online test of 20 questions with a time limit of 15 minutes for employees to complete.
image As soon as the employees complete the test, they will be given immediate feedback as to whether they have passed the test and also explanations for any wrong answers.
image The results can be emailed directly and instantly to a designated person within the organisation, thereby saving the MLRO time and allowing for efficient data collection.
image For an additional set-up fee, clients can also choose to receive a periodic report (eg. monthly, quarterly) in Excel format which collates all the results in one location.
