This course provides a foundational overview of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF), two illicit activities that pose significant threats to the global financial system, economic stability, and security. Participants will explore the definitions, stages, and methods of money laundering, as well as the sources, channels, and impact of terrorist financing. The course examines international frameworks such as the FATF Recommendations, UN resolutions, EU directives, and the role of financial intelligence units (FIUs) in combating these crimes. Learners will also gain insights into compliance expectations for financial institutions, including Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), record-keeping, and suspicious activity reporting. Through case studies, emerging trends (such as cryptocurrencies, cybercrime, and trade-based laundering), and best practices, participants will develop a clear understanding of the risks, responsibilities, and global cooperation required to prevent and detect ML/TF effectively.

This course provides an in-depth examination of the 6th EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD6), formally known as Directive (EU) 2018/1673. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Directive’s key provisions, including the expanded scope of predicate offenses, enhanced liability for legal entities, strengthened sanctions, and the emphasis on cross-border cooperation among Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs). The course situates AMLD6 within the broader evolution of the EU’s AML/CFT framework, highlighting its role in harmonizing criminal law across member states and shaping global standards in financial crime prevention. Through regulatory analysis, case studies, and practical guidance, learners will be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure compliance, mitigate institutional risk, and contribute effectively to the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.

This webinar focuses on the practical detection of financial crime risks through the identification of behavioural and transactional red flags. It examines typologies of money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, and fraud, linking them to observable indicators that compliance professionals can use to strengthen monitoring and reporting systems. Participants will develop a structured understanding of how to recognise warning signs across different financial crime categories and apply this knowledge in both preventative and investigative contexts.
