    Earn a Recognized Anti-Money Laundering Certificate

    The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) describes money laundering as the processing of criminal proceeds to hide their illegal origin, enabling criminals to enjoy these profits without jeopardizing their source. If left unchecked or dealt with ineffectively, money laundering can have significant social and political costs.

     

    The actions of compliance professionals and front-line employees, supported by AML technology, are vital in the fight against money laundering. By taking this AML course, you will gain an understanding of the role you play in preventing money laundering and the impact you can have.

     

    The AML Foundations course breaks a complex topic down into a bite-size learning path. On finishing the course and passing a short assessment, you will earn a recognized certificate in anti-money laundering.
