Trade-Based Money Laundering

Course format: self-paced online

    What is Trade-Based Money Laundering?

    Trade-based money laundering (TBML) is one of the three main methods used by criminal organizations and terrorist financiers to move money and hide its illicit roots. It involves the laundering of money through the physical movement of goods through the trade system.

     

    FATF describes trade-based money laundering as: “the process of disguising the proceeds of crime and moving value through the use of trade transactions in an attempt to legitimize their illicit origins”.

     

    Anti-financial crime professionals need to understand the wide range of risks associated with the international trade system, and their indicators, in order to effectively prevent TBML. The ACAMS Trade-Based Money Laundering course breaks this complex topic down into a bite-size learning path, so participants can confidently define TBML, assess the associated risks, and act to mitigate them.
