Course Overview
Regulators all around the globe emphasise the application of a risk-based approach to fight money laundering. But a risk-based approach can only be applied with a thorough enterprise-wide money laundering risk assessment as a basis.
In this course, participants will learn more about the risk assessment as a powerful management and reporting tool. The course will therefore combine EU and international standards as theory with practical best practices approaches.
Although the course will focus on money laundering risk assessments, participants will also learn how to combine the money laundering risk assessment with other financial crime assessments and to integrate it in a wider enterprise-wide risk management.
