Covered in this course
The Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Training course is broken down into 4 sections.

In this section, we look at the stages involved in the money laundering process.

This section is all about finding out about customers and deciding what level of risk they pose. It explains how to check identity and what should be done if there are any problems with the evidence provided.
3) Suspicious Activity
This section looks at the RED FLAGS of suspicious activity - the things which everyone should be on the look out for. It explains the importance of reporting concerns, who should be reported to and what sort of information they'll need.

In this final section, we're looking at policies and procedures and at the money laundering Laws, Acts and Regulations.
