Our Trainers

Training is only ever as good as the trainer. At CCL we’re genuine specialists in financial services regulation, which means our training courses are built around real-world experience, and the very latest best practice.

Our course leaders work in the financial services industry - day-in, day-out. They ensure each and every course is directly relevant - containing information, advice and guidance that your team will be able to put into practice as soon as they return to work.

What’s more, because all our trainers are also practitioners, they’ll be able to answer almost any question you throw at them.

We promote continuing professional development for all our trainers. They are expected to deliver training to the professional standards we have set and which are based on the UK Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC) standards. This is monitored through our own internal continuous assessment process, and through external feedback from our clients following every course. All of this helps to ensure our trainers provide the standard of excellence we expect.

Trainer Biographies

Picture of Peter Brown

Peter Brown

Peter joined CCL in 2007, primarily as a specialist trainer in anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.  Peter is a Chartered Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (through the  ifs School of Finance ), a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) and a Practitioner of the Institute of Internal Auditors.  Peter has also achieved Accreditation from the Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC) with  "Recognised Trainer Status".

Peter’s earlier career was within internal audit and compliance disciplines covering domestic, international and wholesale banking, as well as later working with two major investment management companies.  A move into consultancy work with a leading AML consultancy meant that this broad “hands on” experience then provided a good base for serving the consultant's clients through reviews of anti-money laundering policies and procedures, customer due diligence (CDD) audits and assistance in undertaking retrospective reviews to update CDD to current  standards.  For several years, Peter was also the “voice” of the JMLSG helpdesk and has also been MLRO in two investment management companies and for the London office of a Middle Eastern bank.

As well as working in and with banks and investment management companies, Peter has gained AML knowledge and experience whilst undertaking work for finance and leasing companies, mortgage lenders, stockbrokers, accountants and lawyers.  Lecturing and training commitments have taken him across mainland Britain as well as to the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, and have included work undertaken for ACCA and the CISI.
