Overview

What if one overlooked transaction triggered your next AML investigation? That risk matters because SEPBLAC analysed 24,320 reports in 2024. Moreover, Spanish supervisory activity surged 23% that same year. Meanwhile, real estate remains a significant supervisory risk. 

Therefore, compliance professionals need practical AML skills, not theory. This course turns KYC, EDD, reporting, and checks into action. So, protect evidence, operations, customers, and professional credibility.

Why Do AML Control Failures Matter?

Poor controls can hide unusual ownership, payments, or asset movements. SEPBLAC identified significant weaknesses among non-financial obliged entities.

These weaknesses involved procedures, due diligence, and internal controls. Strong anti-money laundering compliance improves defensible decision-making.

Learn to recognise risk before valuable transactions become problems. Build confidence applying checks, escalation, and documented controls.
