Course Overview
With the introduction of a more unified EU legal framework, compliance professionals are expected to move beyond awareness and into implementation. These changes are not just legal – they affect how institutions assess risk, apply controls, and respond to regulatory expectations across sectors.
This training provides a clear, structured update on the evolving AML/CTF landscape. It covers key concepts, regulatory frameworks, risk-based assessments, due diligence practices, sanctions, and transaction monitoring, all grounded in real-world application.

The course will address what is expected from financial institutions, professional service providers, lawyers, accountants and auditors on the changes brought about with the adoption of the EU AML Package.
The overall aim is to provide professionals within the services industry insight as to what to expect from the new rules and tips to implement and adhere to these regulations ensuring the continuation of the high-quality services offered to local and international clients in the various industries which they operate.
