Course Overview
Financial crime continues to evolve rapidly, placing growing pressure on organisations to strengthen their Anti-Money Laundering (AML) controls and compliance practices. This AML Foundations Training provides a structured introduction to the core principles of AML, helping learners understand how financial institutions detect, prevent, and report suspicious activity.
The course explores key AML concepts including Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Know Your Customer (KYC), transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting. Through mentor-led discussions and practical scenarios, learners examine how financial crime risks emerge and how compliance teams identify warning signs and respond appropriately.
Participants will also gain awareness of global AML frameworks and regulatory expectations aligned with widely recognised industry topic areas. By the end of the programme, learners will be better prepared to support AML controls, contribute to investigations, and communicate risk findings within their organisation.
