Course Overview
This course provides you with all of the essential knowledge you need to establish a successful career in the field of anti-money laundering. The global nature of the world’s financial systems provides criminals with virtually unlimited opportunities to launder the proceeds of their crimes. It is the responsibility of individuals and professionals working within the wealth administration industry to try to prevent and report knowledge and suspicion of money laundering. If funds from criminal activity can be processed through a particular institution, the integrity, reputation, legality and financial viability of that firm and the sector within which it works can be seriously impacted.
This course is designed for those who work in the international private wealth management field and those who are looking to develop their understanding of anti-money laundering. The course will particularly benefit those whose roles involve compliance, regulatory matters, international audit and money laundering reporting.
