• Apply AML/CFT concepts and supervisory principles to practical cases, developing informed responses to regulatory, operational and risk-management challenges.

This intermediate-level course is tailored for mid- and high-level professionals working in the AML/CFT area, keen on mastering the evolving regulatory and institutional frameworks, placed in their European and international context.
