This course provides a deep understanding of the principles, practices, and regulations governing transaction monitoring in the context of AML/CTF.
The program begins with Module 1, Introduction to AML/CTF, which explores the concepts of money laundering, predicate offenses, and the various stages and methods employed in money laundering and terrorist financing. Through a detailed case study, learners gain insights into the activities performed by terrorist groups to fund their operations.
Module 2, Transaction Monitoring Fundamentals, delves into the fundamentals of transaction monitoring. Students will learn about the definition of transactions, the history and importance of transaction monitoring, and the different types and categories of financial transactions. A case study on transactions initiated by financial institutions provides practical examples for better understanding.

Learners will explore the requirements for transaction monitoring and due diligence, identify the risks addressed by transaction monitoring, and understand which organizations are mandated to perform transaction monitoring. The module also explores the relevance of real-time and offsite transaction monitoring, and a case study illustrates how an organization conducts off-site transaction monitoring.
Module 4, Transaction Monitoring, Investigations, and Reporting, focuses on the identification of indicators for money laundering and terrorist financing in transaction monitoring. Students will learn about red flags, conducting transaction investigations, and the process of identifying suspicious activity and filing suspicious activity reports. The module also covers record keeping and documentation requirements, emphasizing the importance of maintaining proper AML/KYC transaction monitoring documentation.
The program concludes with a final assessment to evaluate the students’ understanding of the course material. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a Certificate in AML/CTF Transaction Monitoring, acknowledging their expertise in effectively monitoring financial transactions to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.
The Certificate in AML/CTF Transaction Monitoring provides a solid foundation for individuals seeking to pursue careers in compliance, risk management, or AML/CTF-related roles within financial institutions, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement agencies.
