Money laundering presents a significant challenge for the financial sector today. As regulatory fines continue to escalate, it is crucial for everyone working in this industry, or providing services to it, to understand the evolving landscape of money laundering. Awareness of these changes and proactive measures to combat money laundering are essential for compliance and maintaining the integrity of the financial system.

Furthermore, the number of businesses classified as "obliged entities" under money laundering regulations has expanded significantly. Regulators are increasingly insisting that staff at these organisations receive comprehensive money laundering regulations training to identify and investigate potential instances of money laundering.

Our market-leading course covers all the up-to-date challenges facing obliged entities, both regulatory and in FCC terms and is packed with real-life case studies and examples to show delegates how money laundering can be identified and the investigative process, equipping delegates with the skills needed to successfully meet the regulatory requirements and industry best practice.
