The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) announced the signing of a partnership agreement with the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF) to train and develop national talent in the financial services sector and other related sectors.
The initiative, which is set to support over 100 Bahrainis, will empower Bahrain professionals to obtain specialized and highly in demand certificates related to value-added tax (VAT) and anti-money laundering.
This initiative offers Bahrainis the opportunity to obtain the Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) certificate, the highest international professional certificate in this field offered by the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS).
The initiative also offers Bahrainis the opportunity to study the Bahrain VAT Compliance Diploma offered by the Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT) in the UK.
Maha Abdulhameed Mofeez, Chief Executive of the Labour Fund (Tamkeen), said: “We look forward to the outcomes of these programs and the impact they will have on the Bahraini labor market, especially the financial services sector.”
Dr. Ahmed Abdul Hameed Al-Shaikh, CEO of the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF), said: “By providing international certificates in the fields of anti-money laundering and VAT compliance, we seek to enhance Bahraini competencies in the banking and finance sector and enable them to achieve excellence and success in this field.”
