Can you imagine a drug dealer using a credit-card terminal to accept payment? How about someone paying for a television they bought off the back of a truck with a personal check? Hard to imagine, right? Most criminals conduct their business in cash.


For years, criminals kept their ill-gotten gains in cash and used it to pay for everything from real estate to jewelry to things such as private school tuition. This prompted governments around the globe to pass laws prohibiting large cash payments or, at the least, requiring such payments to be reported.

These laws created the need for criminals to conceal the true source of the money or to "launder" it. To combat these threats, laws and regulations have been enacted in countries around the globe that make financial services firms, and in some cases individuals, responsible for preventing or stopping money laundering.

This is one of several courses on the topic of AML. Other courses include:
  • Anti-Money Laundering – Understanding the Process
  • Anti-Money Laundering Establishing a Compliance Program
  • Anti-Money Laundering and the USA Patriot Act

Within this course we explore AML warning signs and potential mitigation techniques companies and professionals can take to help eliminate money laundering.

  • Identify AML pro-active prevention techniques
