Course Overview
Money laundering isn't just a banking sector problem, it affects estate agents, accountants, legal professionals, and countless other UK businesses that fall under anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. This Anti-Money Laundering (AML) training has been developed to give learners a genuinely thorough understanding of how money laundering works and the legal responsibilities organisations carry in preventing it.
Curriculum Breakdown
The course begins with an introduction to money laundering, before covering the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and how anti-money laundering regulation has developed over time in the UK. Learners then explore the responsibilities of the Money Laundering Reporting Officer, a role central to AML compliance within regulated businesses.
From there, the course covers a risk-based approach to AML, before moving into customer due diligence, one of the most practical and frequently applied AML requirements. Record keeping follows, alongside how to identify and respond to suspicious conduct and transactions.
The course closes with awareness and training, covering how organisations build AML understanding across their teams, before learners complete the mock and final assessments.
