Course Overview
Financial institutions face increasing regulatory pressure to detect and prevent money laundering and other financial crimes. AML and KYC analysts play a critical role in identifying suspicious activity, assessing customer risk, and supporting compliance frameworks within organisations.
This programme develops the practical investigation and analytical skills required for AML and KYC roles. Participants will learn how to conduct customer due diligence (CDD), identify financial crime typologies, assess red flags, and handle transaction monitoring alerts in accordance with industry practices.
Delivered through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, the course focuses on real-world investigative processes. Learners practise analysing alerts, documenting findings, and writing clear, defensible case notes that support compliance teams, internal reviews, and regulatory expectations.
