AML: Going Deeper

Builds on foundational AML training with a deeper look at why money laundering matters, who it harms, and the advanced concepts ahead.

The Mechanics of Money Laundering

Walks through the three classic stages of laundering, placement, layering, and integration, showing the methods criminals use at each step.

Where Tax Evasion and Money Laundering Meet

Examines how tax evasion and money laundering overlap, moving illicit funds and unreported income through similar channels and triggering similar red flags.

AML and CFT: What You Need to Know

Clarifies how anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) relate, and why programs are expected to address both.

Global AML Governance

Outlines the international AML framework, including how the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) sets standards that countries adopt into their own laws.

Identifying Suspicious Patterns and Behaviors

Helps learners spot common red flags in transactions and customer behavior, such as structuring, unusual activity, and mismatches with a customer profile.

Managing Money Laundering Risk

Introduces the risk-based approach, showing how organizations assess and prioritize money laundering risk across customers, products, and geographies.

Building Effective AML Controls

Covers the core parts of an AML program, including written policies and controls, a designated compliance officer, ongoing training, and independent testing.

How and When to File a SAR

Explains what a suspicious activity report (SAR or STR) is, what prompts one, and how to file it while protecting confidentiality from tipping off.

AML and Law Enforcement Collaboration

Describes how institutions report to a financial intelligence unit and work with regulators, supporting law enforcement investigations and prosecutions.

Why is this training important for workplaces?

A money laundering scheme that slips through can expose an organization to serious regulatory penalties, frozen accounts, and criminal liability, plus the kind of reputational damage that drives away customers and partners. This advanced training helps employees recognize subtler red flags like layering, structuring, and shell-company activity, and act on their reporting and due-diligence obligations before a problem grows. When teams know what to watch for and how to escalate it, the business stays on the right side of regulators and protects the trust it’s built.

"Ethena helped us embed clear standards directly into how we operate and grow. That's what designing for trust at scale actually looks like."

"I needed to train 500 people on side agreements in two weeks. Ethena made it happen — custom content, quick turnaround, no drama."
