About the Course
According to the IMF and World Bank, criminals launder an estimated two to nearly four trillion dollars each year. Among those who seek to disguise the illegal proceeds of their crimes are drug traffickers, terrorists, corrupt public officials, and organized criminal groups. Introducing illegally obtained funds into the stream of legitimate commerce and finance allows criminals to profit from their illegal activity, taints the international financial system, and erodes public trust in the integrity of the system. Only a comprehensive anti-money laundering regime which draws on AML/CFT tools can prevent those that finance terrorism from succeeding.
This course provides banking professionals with essential knowledge and practical skills to effectively combat money laundering and terrorist financing within the banking industry. Participants will gain insights into key concepts, international standards, regulatory frameworks, risk assessment techniques, compliance procedures, and emerging trends
