Course Overview
This Customer Due Diligence (CDD) Training course provides a structured understanding of how customer due diligence supports anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, and financial crime prevention controls. The course focuses on the full CDD lifecycle, including customer identity verification, beneficial ownership, risk-based assessment, enhanced due diligence, simplified due diligence, transaction monitoring, screening, suspicious reporting, and record keeping. It is designed to help participants understand how CDD fits within broader AML governance and regulatory expectations.
Customer due diligence is a core requirement for organizations that need to understand who they are doing business with, assess customer risk, and detect unusual or suspicious activity. In France and across the European Union, AML compliance continues to evolve through requirements linked to the French Monetary and Financial Code, ACPR supervision, TRACFIN reporting obligations, AMF guidance, the EU AML Directives, the upcoming AML Regulation framework, AMLA supervision, and liability considerations under 6AMLD. This course helps professionals build knowledge of these regulatory structures and how they influence day-to-day CDD responsibilities.
The Customer Due Diligence (CDD) Training course is especially relevant for professionals working in financial services, regulated businesses, compliance teams, risk functions, onboarding operations, and governance roles. It supports stronger customer risk assessment, better AML controls, improved reporting awareness, and more consistent application of risk-based due diligence. The curriculum is aligned with key CDD themes, including regulatory architecture, French and EU AML systems, monitoring and screening, digital CDD, AI systems, enforcement cases, and financial crime typologies.
