Certificate in Anti-Financial Crime Compliance
Enroll in the Certificate in Anti-Financial Crime Compliance and take your Anti-Financial Crime Career to the next level!
Course Description
Financial crime is generally defined as any activity involving fraudulent or dishonest behavior for personal financial gain. Financial crime refers to all crimes committed by an individual or a group of individuals that involve taking money or other property that belongs to someone else to obtain financial or professional gain. The two most significant types of financial crime are money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
Financial crime is a significant ongoing challenge for banks, institutions, and individuals. As regulators and financial authorities introduce new strategies to detect and prevent financial crime, criminals develop more sophisticated methodologies to evade legal scrutiny and commit offenses, including fraud, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism. Financial institutions are also expected to participate in the fight against financial crime by ensuring compliance with the authorities’ regulations at the risk of potentially severe penalties.
This certificate program is a professional training with four modules that cover core concepts of financial crime and the anti-financial crime framework and programs developed and implemented in organizations to prevent financial crime. Financial crime risk assessment and evaluation process are also covered in this course.
