Course Overview

The Fundamentals of AML, KYC & CDD course provides a structured introduction to anti-money laundering, Know Your Customer processes, customer due diligence, enhanced due diligence, and financial crime risk management. The course is designed around core AML concepts, customer identity and risk assessment, due diligence procedures, reporting duties, monitoring controls, and emerging risks linked to digital onboarding, crypto-assets, artificial intelligence, RegTech, and data protection.

It covers key elements of the French LCB-FT framework and introduces the roles of major authorities such as TRACFIN, ACPR, and AMF, as listed in the supplied curriculum.
