Explore More Definition of AML
What Is Anti-Money Laundering?
Money laundering is the process of disguising the criminal origin of illicit funds so that they appear to come from legitimate sources.
For investment professionals, AML awareness matters because high-value transactions, cross-border capital, complex ownership structures and offshore fund flows can create financial crime exposure.
In this course
Learners connect core AML principles with practical situations involving investors, beneficial ownership, source of funds, due diligence and suspicious activity.

Risk-Based Financial Crime Awareness
From Investor Due Diligence to Wider Financial Crime Risk
Understand five core concepts that help investment professionals identify who they are dealing with, apply the right level of due diligence and recognise wider financial crime risks.
Customer Due Diligence
Understanding the relationship and its risk
CDD goes beyond identity checks to understand ownership, business purpose, source of funds and the nature of the relationship. It helps determine whether the customer or investment presents standard or higher financial crime risk.
Enhanced Due Diligence
Deeper checks for higher-risk relationships
EDD applies deeper scrutiny where higher risks are identified, such as PEP exposure, opaque ownership structures or connections to high-risk jurisdictions. Reviews can include source of wealth, source of funds, UBO transparency and additional supporting evidence.
Combating the Financing of Terrorism
Preventing funds from supporting terrorist activity
CFT focuses on identifying and preventing funds or financial services from being used to support terrorist activity. Learners consider why unusual transactions, counterparties and fund flows may require further scrutiny and escalation.
Counter Proliferation Financing
Preventing financing linked to weapons proliferation
CPF focuses on preventing financing connected to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In investment contexts, relevant risks can involve sanctioned parties, high-risk jurisdictions or businesses connected to dual-use technologies.
