The challenge of managing transnational and international AML risks is one that demands an internationally ‘joined up’ approach and a common understanding of emerging trends.

The ICA International Diploma in Anti-Money Laundering is our flagship qualification and the industry-standard for MLROs and financial crime professionals managing money laundering risk.

The qualification is benchmarked against international best practice and has been co-developed with local subject matter experts to ensure the content within the workshops is particularly relevant. There are references to local rules and regulations and local case studies bringing the materials to life ensuring that you will benefit from both the international and local perspectives.

The course will be delivered by AML/CTF experts from the KordaMentha financial crimes team.

This advanced level course will help you understand the threat and mitigate the risks, develop and implement best practice AML initiatives and boost your professional profile.

This course is awarded in association with Alliance Manchester Business School, the University of Manchester.
