Course Description

The field of financial crime compliance is changing. In today’s environment it is no longer enough for a financial crime or compliance professional to be able to describe money laundering or terrorist financing, they must also have a strong understanding of the potential predicate offences - “the crime behind the crime”.

With this knowledge, investigators are better able to understand the activity they are observing, articulate their findings, and present the final intelligence product to their audience.

This course examines a wide range of financial and white collar crimes, linking these predicate offences to the indicators of money laundering / terrorist financing.
