Anti‑Money Laundering (AML) Fundamentals provides a comprehensive introduction to the global standards, regulatory expectations, and operational practices that protect financial systems from being exploited for illicit activities. The course explores the stages of money laundering, common typologies, and the role of financial institutions in identifying suspicious behavior.
Learners will study key AML regulations and frameworks, including FATF recommendations, local AML laws, customer due diligence (CDD), enhanced due diligence (EDD), sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting. The course also highlights the responsibilities of AML officers, the importance of risk‑based approaches, and the integration of AML controls into broader compliance programs.
Through practical examples and case studies, students will learn how to recognize red flags, assess AML risks, and apply effective controls to mitigate exposure. By the end of the course, participants will have a strong foundation in AML principles and be prepared to support financial crime prevention efforts within the Financial Crime / AML / KYC category.
