AML & CTF Business Case Study

Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing through the case study of a major scandal — CDD, sanctions monitoring and the MLRO role in practical terms.

The programme

Money laundering rules are learned fastest through failure — and this programme is built around the case study of one of the biggest scandals in the field. It covers the mechanics of money laundering and the initiatives undertaken to combat terrorist financing, including the regulations that govern financial institutions, with a practical focus on the role of the Money Laundering Reporting Officer. The cohort works through Customer Due Diligence and sanctions monitoring, and the AML risks in emerging sectors such as mobile financial services and e-payments.

What you will do

Dissect a major money-laundering scandal case study, tracing where controls failed and what would have caught it.
Apply Customer Due Diligence and sanctions monitoring as working disciplines, not paperwork.
Operate the Money Laundering Reporting Officer role in practical terms, inside the regulatory environment that governs financial institutions.
Assess AML risk in emerging sectors, including mobile financial services and e-payments.
Map the counter-terrorist financing initiatives and regulations that bind financial institutions.

Who attends

  • Compliance and MLRO teams in commercial and investment banks
  • Supervisory agencies and central banks
  • Insurance companies, mutual funds and brokerage houses
  • Accountancy firms and multinational corporations

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

How is the case-study format used?

The programme is built around the case study of one of the biggest scandals in the field, on the principle that money laundering rules are learned fastest through failure. Participants trace where controls failed, which signals were missed and what would have caught the scheme — then translate those lessons to their own institution.

Does the course cover newer payment channels?

Yes. Alongside Customer Due Diligence, sanctions monitoring and the practical workings of the MLRO role, the cohort examines AML risks in emerging sectors such as mobile financial services and e-payments, within the regulations that govern financial institutions and the initiatives against terrorist financing.

Who should attend, and how do we book?

Compliance and MLRO teams in commercial and investment banks, supervisory agencies and central banks, insurers, mutual funds, brokerages, accountancy firms and multinationals. Delivery is in English or French, in-house editions are tailored to your institution, and dates run on a rolling calendar — fees and quotations on enquiry.
