• Design, challenge, and review risk-based supervision and AML risk management frameworks in response to evolving ML/FT threat profiles, supervisory expectations, and cross-border group structures. 

• Diagnose and prioritise ML/FT vulnerabilities across sectors, activities, and entities, drawing on case studies and practical activities. 

• Formulate and justify proportionate, context-specific AML mitigation strategies under constraints (e.g. resources, data quality) for effective AML risk management. 

• Interpret and operationalise the implementation of the EU’s revised AML/CFT framework, including the AML/CFT Single Rulebook, in interaction with international FATF standards.

This advanced-level course is designed for senior professionals with substantial experience in the AML/CFT field (typically 15+ years), who wish to deepen their understanding of the complex interactions between governance, regulatory, supervisory and operational challenges arising from emerging and forward-looking risks, as well as from the revised EU and international AML/CFT frameworks.

The course is particularly suited to high-level decision-makers and senior representatives from AML supervisory authorities, Financial Intelligence Units, ministries of economy and finance, prudential authorities and central banks, as well as senior executives within the financial services industry. It is also highly relevant for senior compliance officers, risk managers and legal directors seeking to engage critically with the practical implications of the EU’s revised AML framework and the latest FATF international standards, and to explore advanced, risk-based approaches to AML/CFT governance and risk management.
