Anti-Money Laundering Concepts: AML, KYC and Compliance (Udemy.com)

Welcome to this comprehensive course on Anti-Money Laundering (AML), designed to help you understand how financial crime occurs, how it is detected, and how organizations safeguard themselves against it. In this course, you will learn the core concepts of Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and the key AML policies, controls, and global regulations used to prevent and report suspicious activity.

We begin by breaking down what Money Laundering really is, followed by a clear explanation of its three stages, real-world examples, and the far-reaching consequences it creates for businesses and economies. You will then explore Terrorist Financing—how it works, how it differs from money laundering, and why certain high-risk countries and channels pose greater threats.

As the course progresses, we dive into the practical side of AML compliance. You will learn how organizations identify red flags, conduct Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, perform Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), apply Sanctions screening, and assess Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). We also cover how compliance teams review suspicious activity, prepare Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs), and use modern Transaction Monitoring systems—including a demo of how AI-powered tools assist in data extraction, screening, risk scoring, and automated report generation.

To bring these concepts to life, you’ll work through scenario-based exercises, realistic practice cases, and case studies on major global money laundering incidents. These examples help you understand not just the theory behind AML, but how compliance teams apply it in real workplaces.

This course has no prerequisites and can be completed in approximately 2 hours, including interactive scenarios and guided exercises. Upon enrolling, you will receive lifetime access, along with direct support for any questions you may have. And with Udemy’s money-back guarantee, your learning is completely risk-free.
