This Anti-Money Laundering training course explains the UK laws that were put in place to prevent money laundering.
By law, businesses in the regulated sector must put controls in place to prevent financial crime, money laundering and terrorist financing. The regulated sector includes a huge variety of businesses such as banks, accountants, estate agents, law firms and casinos.
The UK is the second largest money-laundering hotspot in the world. Around £88 billion is laundered through UK organisations every year. This money funds terrorist activities and damages the UK economy, which affects all of us.
The approximate duration of this online training course is 2-3 hours.
What is Money Laundering?
Money laundering is the crime of processing dirty money (obtained through crime) through a legitimate business, or moving it into foreign bank accounts, to hide the fact that the money was illegally obtained. The cleaned money can then be spent as if it was obtained from legal sources.
The importance of Anti-Money Laundering training
Money laundering costs the UK more than £100 billion pounds a year. Criminals, organised gangs and terrorists use it to move funds and pay for assets.
The laundering of large amounts of illegal funds through the UK’s financial sector threatens national security and weakens both the financial system and the UK’s international reputation.
No one wants money laundering happening in their business. There is a risk of loss of revenue, and a loss of reputation.
This online Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing course makes employees aware of illegal practices and helps them to identify AML risks. It explains the relevant UK laws, and explains the controls that must be put in place to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
