Governance and Compliance in AML / CFT & Financial Crime Analytics Training Course in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Classroom training in Dar es Salaam · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 2,000
Money launderers and terrorist financiers exploit weak controls, slow escalation and badly tuned monitoring systems, and institutions that miss them face fines, loss of correspondent banking relationships and lasting reputational damage. Over five days, compliance teams learn to govern anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing programmes and to back their judgement with data. The programme covers risk-based customer due diligence, beneficial ownership, politically exposed persons, sanctions screening, the FATF Recommendations and the duties that boards and senior management carry.
Analytics sessions then turn to transaction monitoring scenarios, threshold tuning, network and link analysis, typology mapping and the quality of suspicious transaction reports. Participants work with sample transaction data and case files drawn from banks, forex bureaus, mobile money providers and SACCOs. Compliance officers, money laundering reporting officers, internal auditors, risk managers, regulators and financial intelligence staff will gain a framework they can apply immediately. Afterwards you can draft an enterprise-wide risk assessment, defend monitoring rules to a board and write a sound suspicious activity report. Classroom, online and in-house delivery lead to a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Financial crime is changing faster than many compliance functions can adapt. Instant payments, mobile money, virtual assets and complex ownership structures give criminals new channels, while supervisors and international standard setters expect institutions to show that their controls are proportionate to the risks they actually face. Weak governance, rather than a lack of rules, is the most common reason programmes fail an inspection.
The Governance and Compliance in AML / CFT & Financial Crime Analytics Training Course starts with the structure of an effective programme: board oversight, the three lines of defence, policies, enterprise-wide risk assessment and the role of the compliance function. It then covers customer due diligence, enhanced measures for higher-risk relationships, sanctions and watchlist screening, and record keeping. The second half applies analytics to the same obligations, showing how monitoring scenarios are designed, how alerts are triaged and investigated, and how patterns in data point to layering, structuring, trade-based laundering and terrorist financing.
Teaching is practical. Participants review anonymised case files, tune sample monitoring rules, build simple link charts and draft the narrative of a suspicious transaction report. They finish with a compliance improvement plan for their own organisation, setting out governance gaps, data needs and priorities for the next twelve months.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the structure of an effective AML and CFT programme and the responsibilities of the board, senior management and the compliance function.
- Conduct an enterprise-wide money laundering and terrorist financing risk assessment.

- Analyse transaction data and relationships to identify structuring, layering and unusual behaviour.
- Investigate alerts and prepare complete, well-reasoned suspicious transaction reports.
