Anti Money Laundering (AML)

This specialised programme provides 40 CPD hours of a comprehensive foundation in anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to detect, prevent, and respond to financial crime risks within regulated environments.

Participants begin by examining the regulatory landscape governing AML efforts in the United Kingdom, gaining an in-depth understanding of key institutions such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), and the National Crime Agency (NCA). The course also introduces the roles of international bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), outlining global AML standards and cooperative frameworks.

The curriculum explores the core components of AML practice, including the implementation of risk-based approaches, conducting effective customer due diligence (CDD), and executing enhanced due diligence (EDD) in high-risk scenarios. Learners also gain practical knowledge of monitoring financial transactions, identifying red flags, and preparing suspicious activity reports (SARs) in compliance with regulatory expectations.

Special attention is given to the evolving nature of money laundering tactics, including the use of digital assets, offshore structures, and complex corporate vehicles. The programme also covers compliance governance, internal controls, and staff training obligations, ensuring participants understand how to build and maintain a resilient AML compliance framework.

Designed for professionals in compliance, financial services, and regulatory roles, this programme offers strategic insight and practical tools essential for combating financial crime, maintaining institutional integrity, and meeting the demands of an increasingly complex global regulatory environment.
