Streamline your organisation’s payment operations with this comprehensive self-assessment programme designed specifically for finance and treasury professionals managing wire and Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. Gain actionable insights into the technical, operational, and compliance frameworks essential for secure, efficient, and regulation-compliant payment processing across domestic and international channels.
This structured curriculum equips your team with the expertise to optimise treasury automation and strengthen financial controls, reducing risk while enhancing payment accuracy and timeliness. Key learning outcomes include:
- Strategic payment routing: Evaluate when to use Fedwire, CHIPS, or RTP based on urgency, cost, and recipient infrastructure to optimise cash flow and reduce processing delays.
- Regulatory alignment: Ensure compliance with NACHA Operating Rules, OFAC screening mandates, Reg E, BSA/AML requirements, and SOX internal controls, minimising exposure to penalties and operational disruption.
- System integration: Configure dual-use treasury platforms to accurately process both ACH batches and SWIFT MT103 messages, eliminating misrouting and improving reconciliation efficiency.
- Risk and compliance controls: Implement robust audit trails, dual-control authorisation protocols, and encryption standards in line with FFIEC and GLBA Safeguards Rule requirements.
- Operational excellence: Map end-to-end payment workflows, define same-day ACH cutoff times, and develop reconciliation logic to distinguish between ACH return codes (e.g., R01, R03) and wire rejection responses.
Designed for global financial operations, this assessment supports organisations in strengthening defence against fraud, improving cross-border payment visibility, and aligning treasury practices with evolving regulatory expectations.
