Money launderers and terrorist financiers adapt faster than most compliance programmes, and one missed pattern can bring regulatory sanctions, loss of correspondent banking relationships and lasting reputational damage. Five days equip compliance teams to plan a risk-based programme and then put analytics behind it. You work through enterprise-wide risk assessment, customer due diligence, beneficial ownership, politically exposed persons, sanctions screening and transaction monitoring, all aligned with the FATF Recommendations. Later sessions turn to the data side of the work: scenario design, alert tuning, link and network analysis, typology detection and the writing of suspicious transaction reports that financial intelligence units can act on.
Delegates build rules and red-flag indicators on sample transaction data and prepare an implementation roadmap covering governance, staffing, systems and staff training. The programme suits compliance officers, money laundering reporting officers, internal auditors, risk managers, financial intelligence unit analysts and investigators working in banks, insurers, mobile money providers, SACCOs and regulators. Classroom, online and in-house delivery are available, and every participant earns a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can draft an implementation plan for your institution and use data to focus investigations where the risk is highest.
Regulators, correspondent banks and development partners now expect financial institutions to prove that their anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing controls work in practice, not just that a policy exists. Weak customer due diligence, noisy monitoring systems and poorly evidenced reports expose institutions to penalties, de-risking and loss of trust, while overloaded compliance teams struggle to separate genuine risk from false alarms.
The Planning and Implementation of AML / CFT & Financial Crime Analytics Training Course follows the life of a compliance programme. It starts with national and institutional risk assessment, then moves through customer onboarding, ongoing monitoring, sanctions and watchlist controls, and the handling of alerts and escalations. The second half introduces analytics: how to design detection scenarios, measure their effectiveness, profile customer behaviour, map networks of related accounts and recognise typologies such as trade-based laundering, mobile money layering and shell-company structures.
Participants work with anonymised datasets and case files in spreadsheets and simple query tools, so no programming background is needed. They finish the week with a draft implementation plan, a prioritised list of monitoring scenarios and a reporting template they can take back to their compliance function.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
