Regulators now judge a financial institution less on whether it has an AML policy and more on whether its controls actually find criminal money. Weak customer due diligence, noisy alert queues and poorly written suspicious transaction reports lead to penalties, de-risking by correspondent banks and lasting reputational damage. Five days connect the rulebook to the data analyst's desk.
You work through the FATF Recommendations, the risk-based approach, beneficial ownership, politically exposed persons, sanctions screening and the supervisory expectations that follow from them. You then move into analytics: typology mapping, rule and threshold calibration, network and link analysis, anomaly detection and the case management steps that turn an alert into a well-evidenced report. Exercises use anonymised transaction sets and sample cases from banks, mobile money providers, forex bureaus and SACCOs. The programme suits compliance officers, MLROs, internal auditors, risk managers, fraud investigators, financial intelligence staff and regulators. It runs in the classroom, online or in-house, and ends with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can draft an AML policy section, tune a monitoring scenario and defend your decisions to an examiner.
Money laundering and terrorist financing adapt quickly to every control placed in their path, and supervisors across Africa and beyond are tightening expectations on banks, payment providers, insurers and designated non-financial businesses. Institutions are asked to show that policy, risk assessment, monitoring and reporting form one coherent system, not a set of disconnected manuals.
This programme begins with the international standard-setting framework, including the FATF Recommendations, mutual evaluations and the risk-based approach, and shows how these translate into institutional policy, customer due diligence tiers, record keeping and governance responsibilities. Participants then study the typologies that matter in practice, such as trade-based laundering, misuse of mobile money, shell companies, cash-intensive businesses and proceeds of corruption.
The second half focuses on financial crime analytics. Participants learn how to design and calibrate monitoring scenarios, reduce false positives, profile customers, apply network analysis to uncover linked accounts and document an investigation so that it stands up to internal audit and regulatory review. Sessions rely on worked case files, spreadsheet exercises and group simulations, and each participant leaves with a draft policy extract, a tuned scenario specification and a reporting checklist for their own institution.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
