The "AML" course is a comprehensive training programme tailored for individuals working in finance, banking, law, and other regulated industries where compliance with Anti-Money Laundering regulations is crucial. The course begins with a foundational lecture on money laundering, explaining its impact on the global economy and the legal consequences associated with financial crime. It introduces learners to the key terms, processes, and reasons why AML compliance is vital in today’s business environment.

The course explores the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 in detail, offering insight into how legislation is used to detect, investigate, and prosecute money laundering offences in the UK. It also covers the historical development of AML regulations, showing how national and international bodies have evolved their strategies to tackle increasingly complex laundering activities. Learners will gain a solid understanding of the responsibilities of the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO), including reporting obligations, risk assessment, and oversight of internal controls.

Further lectures focus on the risk-based approach, helping participants understand how to assess, monitor, and mitigate risk in client relationships. Essential practices such as Customer Due Diligence (CDD), record-keeping protocols, and identifying suspicious transactions are explained with practical examples. The final section of the course highlights the importance of staff awareness and ongoing AML training, reinforcing the need for a culture of compliance throughout an organisation.

By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the knowledge to identify potential risks, comply with AML requirements, and contribute to the prevention of financial crimes in their workplace or business.
