Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

Do you want to stand strong in the fight against financial crime?
This course provides a unique combination of strategic insight and practical tools within risk-based compliance and anti-money laundering (AML). Over four intensive days, you will learn to analyse risks, develop effective compliance strategies and understand the role of AML as part of the national response to financial crime and hybrid threats.

From theory to practice – with a focus on impact.
You will gain the skills to identify money laundering methods, assess the allocation of responsibilities between authorities and companies and work with national risk indicators. Teaching combines lectures, case work and reflection, enabling you to turn knowledge into action within your own organisation. The course concludes with a written assignment in which you apply the methods to a case of your own choosing.
