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.
This course is especially relevant for professionals working in or around regulated financial and professional services environments in France. 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. Participants explore how AML, KYC, and CDD knowledge supports responsible decision-making, stronger risk awareness, and better compliance practices across customer-facing, operational, and governance functions.
Organizations face growing pressure to identify financial crime risks earlier, verify customer information accurately, monitor business relationships, and maintain clear audit evidence. The Fundamentals of AML, KYC & CDD course helps learners understand these responsibilities in a practical workplace context, from beneficial ownership checks and PEP screening to suspicious activity indicators, TRACFIN reporting duties, and ongoing monitoring.
