Money launderers and terrorist financiers adapt faster than most compliance programmes, so senior teams need analytics that surface suspicious behaviour early and leadership that keeps the function accountable. Over five days, participants examine how a bank, insurer or payment provider converts raw transaction data into alerts, investigations and regulator-ready reports. Topics include the FATF recommendations, risk-based customer due diligence, sanctions and politically exposed person screening, monitoring scenarios, link and network analysis, and suspicious transaction reporting.
Leadership sessions cover setting risk appetite, tuning alert thresholds, measuring analyst productivity, reducing false positives and reporting to the board. Money laundering reporting officers, heads of compliance, internal auditors, fraud and financial crime managers and senior bankers will find it directly relevant, as will regulators and financial intelligence staff. Case work uses anonymised typologies from banking, mobile money and trade finance. The programme runs in classroom sessions across 18 cities, online or in-house, and closes with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can brief a board on exposure, challenge model performance and direct investigators towards defensible case files.
Supervisors and correspondent banks now judge a financial institution by the quality of its financial crime controls, and a single weak programme can lead to penalties, de-risking and lost relationships. Compliance heads are asked to do more with data while managing teams that are stretched by alert volumes. Leading this function well takes both analytical fluency and the management skills to turn analysis into consistent performance.
This programme takes participants through the control environment from enterprise-wide risk assessment to case closure. It starts with money laundering and terror financing typologies and the global standards behind them, then examines customer risk rating, ongoing monitoring and sanctions controls. A central block applies analytics to detection: scenario design, threshold calibration, segmentation, anomaly detection, entity resolution and network mapping. Later sessions focus on leadership, including structuring the three lines of defence, setting measurable targets, managing investigators and communicating with regulators.
Learning is practical. Participants work through anonymised data extracts, review sample monitoring rules, rehearse board presentations and critique real-style suspicious activity reports. They finish with a performance dashboard design and an improvement plan for their own function.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
