Introduction to Anti-Money Laundering

Sets up why AML training matters for every employee, using real-world examples that show how close money laundering risk can be to daily work.

AML Basics

Defines money laundering, walks through the three stages of placement, layering, and integration, and flags the common signals that point to it.

AML Legal Landscape

AML and CFT: What You Need to Know

Explains how anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism connect, and the core obligations both place on regulated firms and their staff.

Know Your Customer

Practical Anti-Money Laundering Strategies

Gives employees day-to-day strategies for applying AML controls, escalating concerns, and responding when a customer or transaction looks suspicious.

Transaction Monitoring and Reporting

Covers how to monitor customer activity and file suspicious and threshold-based reports to the relevant LATAM financial intelligence units (FIUs).

What's at Stake: Money Laundering

Shows the real consequences when AML controls fail, from regulatory fines and criminal liability to lasting reputational damage for the business.

Why is this training important for workplaces?

Money laundering moves illicit funds through legitimate businesses, and across Latin America the rules for spotting and reporting it keep tightening. When your teams don’t recognize red flags like suspicious transactions, shell companies, or unusual cash activity, the business risks heavy fines, frozen operations, and a reputation that’s hard to rebuild. This training helps employees understand their reporting obligations and act on warning signs early, so your organization stays compliant and keeps criminal money out.
