• Explain and demonstrate how to develop data-driven risk assessments based on an empirical foundation
• Translate risk assessments and regulatory requirements into scenarios and rules for transaction monitoring
• Design, adjust, and optimise scenarios to detect money laundering as effectively as possible
• Reflect strategically on the use of technology (including transaction monitoring and AI) as a tool in the fight against financial crime

Do you want to strengthen your capabilities in combating financial crime?
Gain the latest methods and tools to work more effectively, data-driven and with full traceability in risk management, anti-money laundering and transaction monitoring.

Learn from research, international cases and regulatory requirements, and develop the skills to deliver sharp analyses, targeted risk models and intelligent monitoring. Gain insight into how AI can enhance your work without compromising ethics, governance or accountability.

The teaching is hands-on and practice-oriented, equipping you with concrete solutions that can be implemented in your organisation from day one. This course is for professionals who want to elevate their expertise, ground decisions in data and stay ahead in a field where requirements are increasing and technology is evolving rapidly.
