Course Summary
Financial crime does not usually appear as an obvious warning sign. It hides inside transaction patterns, weak controls, incomplete due diligence and delayed escalation.
This two-day course helps participants strengthen their practical understanding of Anti-Money Laundering, Counter Financing of Terrorism and Counter Proliferation Financing. It is designed for professionals who need more than a compliance checklist. They need to understand how financial crime works; how red flags appear and how to respond correctly.
The course uses case studies, scenario discussions and practical exercises to help participants apply KYC, CDD, Enhanced Due Diligence, Risk-Based Approach and Suspicious Transaction Reporting in real work situations. Participants leave with clearer judgment, stronger detection capability and a better understanding of their role in protecting the organisation from financial crime exposure.
