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.

Format

Classroom · Live Virtual

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

Will these programmes prepare our team for supervisory review?

That is what they are built for. Casework is structured around the evidence supervisors request — risk-appetite articulation, documentation, attestation — and participants leave able to assemble the evidence trail before it is asked for and defend the framework in examination. Faculty include practitioners who have sat on the supervisor’s side of the table.

Which risk frameworks does the curriculum cover?

The risk and compliance curriculum spans enterprise risk management on the COSO framework, credit, market, liquidity and operational risk, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing, and financial-crime disciplines including fraud detection and AML/CFT. Each programme page states the frames it works in and what participants will build with them.

Can we attend in French?

Yes. BIZENIUS delivers in English and French, in classroom, live virtual and hybrid formats. French-language cohorts serve institutions across BCEAO jurisdictions and other francophone markets.

What happens after we enquire about a programme?

A senior practitioner replies within one business day with the brochure attached. The conversation then covers dates, format, any tailoring your institution needs, and the fee — BIZENIUS shares fees in that proposal, not on a public price list.
