Enhance Your Employees’ Anti-Money Laundering Awareness

AML General Awareness is an online course, hosted on your organization’s learning management system. It is designed to work for organizations of all sizes, regardless of location, and it is quick and simple to implement.

 

On completing the training course, your employees will understand the importance of tackling financial crime. Employees will gain an increased awareness of financial crime risks and the controls needed to mitigate them.

Why is AML Awareness Important?

Money laundering is linked to both organized crime and terrorist groups, and has significant political, economic, and social costs. Alongside the moral imperative to act, many organizations – particularly in the financial services sector – have a regulatory obligation to prevent money laundering taking place.

 

Anti-money laundering awareness and compliance is an important part of meeting regulatory requirements. Regulated entities should ensure employees are aware of anti-money laundering practices, so they can identify AML risks in their day-to-day roles. Effective AML training supports organizations to do this.
