Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism in the Banking Sector Training in Machakos, Kenya
Classroom training in Machakos · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 1,600
Regulators expect banks to know their customers, understand their money flows and act quickly when something looks wrong, and penalties for failure grow every year. You will work through the FATF recommendations and the risk-based approach, customer risk rating, KYC and customer due diligence, and enhanced due diligence for politically exposed persons, correspondent banking and high-risk jurisdictions. Sanctions screening, beneficial ownership checks and trade-based laundering typologies are examined alongside them. You will also compare how regulators in different jurisdictions apply the standards, so your controls hold up in cross-border and correspondent relationships.
Transaction monitoring rules, alert investigation and the preparation of clear, well-evidenced suspicious transaction reports are practised on realistic case files. Sessions on terrorist financing indicators, record keeping, staff training, governance of the compliance function and preparing for regulator inspections complete the picture. Compliance officers, MLROs, relationship managers, operations staff, internal auditors and risk teams in banks and other financial institutions will benefit most. Participants leave able to apply controls consistently, document their reasoning and justify decisions confidently to examiners and senior management.
