Overview

Fraud and money laundering risks are becoming more complex as criminals use digital channels, hidden ownership structures, payment manipulation, social engineering, crypto assets, offshore entities, and cross-border transactions to exploit organizations.

The Fraud Management and AML Compliance Training course helps learners understand how financial crime works, how fraud and money laundering are connected, and how companies can strengthen detection, escalation, investigation, and prevention controls.

This course is designed for compliance officers, AML teams, fraud analysts, finance teams, risk professionals, internal auditors, legal teams, operations managers, customer onboarding teams, payment teams, and professionals responsible for detecting or preventing financial crime exposure inside an organization.

Across 14 hours of online learning, learners will explore modern financial crime methods, Spain’s AML framework, SEPBLAC expectations, customer due diligence, KYC, beneficial ownership, high-risk customers, PEPs, red flags, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity detection, fraud schemes, digital threats, social engineering, crypto-related risks, sanctions evasion, internal fraud, investigations, whistleblower reports, and AML culture.

Spain’s AML/CFT framework is built around Law 10/2010 and Royal Decree 304/2014, and SEPBLAC explains that obliged subjects must follow the provisions established by these rules. (sepblac.es) SEPBLAC also identifies itself as Spain’s Financial Intelligence Unit and supervisory authority for AML/CFT-related activity. (sepblac.es)

This course gives learners a practical, business-focused understanding of fraud management and AML controls so they can better recognize warning signs, support investigations, improve reporting awareness, and help build stronger financial crime prevention systems.
