We offer a six-week intensive training course designed to equip students with skills in financial crimes investigation. The curriculum focuses on practical application of three primary "hard" skills: Online research, financial spreadsheet analysis, and report writing. Each skill is honed towards conducting Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Fraud, and/ or Due Diligence investigations. Students learn through a combination of lectures, quizzes, case studies, and practical exercises. Successful graduates will produce actionable, risk-based, financial crimes intelligence reporting useful to all types of Financial Institutions (FI) and FinTech companies.
