Course
Seneca Polytechnic offers the Securities Instructional course to enhance your understanding and help you successfully complete the Canadian Securities Course(TM). The Canadian Securities Course(TM) offered by the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI) is the official educator of the securities industry. The course is designed to enhance students' understanding of the CSC material. This course reviews the investments market in Canada and identifies the roles and responsibilities of the key financial industries. Topical issues will include the nature of assets, client need assessment, various investments available to clients, investment strategies and tactics, portfolio evaluation, and the analysis of a publicly-traded company financial statement.
The international financial services community is working closely with the government and police force at all levels to contain efforts by organized crime and terrorist groups to launder money and use the financial services system as a conduit for the illicit transfer of funds from the proceeds of crime. The Canadian government has put legislative mechanisms in place and established a financial intelligence unit, FINTRAC, to monitor compliance. This course will teach students about Anti-Money Laundering management programs that are in conformance with Canadian and international regulatory requirements.
Note: Successful completion of CSS110 qualifies as meeting requirements of RFC403.
