Course Summary
Money laundering and fraud could be a massive threat to your business if you and your employees are not fully prepared to identify it and handle it efficiently. Early detection and action will help you learn lessons and prevent further attacks or attempts to compromise your security in the future.
To be adequately equipped to defend against money laundering and fraudulent attacks, it’s essential that you know your customer (KYC) and conduct Customer Due Diligence (CDD). These processes involve appointing trained officers to study your customer base, identify AML risks, and understand the emerging trends around security bypassing practices and cyber attacks.
Your team of money-laundering combatants will need to understand the in-depth processes involved in intelligent money laundering and what it means regarding financial crime risks, global laws, and regulations applicable to each jurisdiction. This will allow for anti-fraud measures to be put in place to govern your organisation and prevent any money or data loss.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Gain a greater understanding of the importance of anti-fraud procedures.
- Develop a clear picture of the reasons and behaviours used by terrorist financing.
- Discover unique and intelligent ways to combat money laundering.
- Gain a wider awareness of your organisation’s processes and how open they are to fraudulent activity.
- Motivate others to be constantly aware of risks and threats to finances.
- Design your own anti-fraud regime.
- Find new ways of tracking and reporting on money laundering activities.
- Understand the consequences of not being cautious.
This course is a good fit for anyone who requires knowledge within the anti-money laundering sector to ensure secure procedures are created and continued for overall business protection. It would be most beneficial for:
- Compliance Professionals
- Treasury Managers

This course uses a range of adult learning methods to identify the seriousness of money laundering and the importance of anti-fraud measures to protect your business. It is structured using real-life fraud cases and group activities to identify fraudulent practices.
The case studies present will allow for scrutiny and group discussions to devise effective and powerful prevention methods and risk assessment practices to take away and implement for continuous improvement within a business environment.
