Course Overview

Insider risk in security-led anti-money laundering is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. A control on the practice within corporate security practice that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this area of corporate security practice outperform teams that only plan it. It is written for people who have to make security-led anti-money laundering work with the resources they already have. A common pattern is strong design of this strand of corporate security practice paired with weak follow-through. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a security procedure for this area of corporate security practice as they go. Participants gain a realistic view of what security-led anti-money laundering costs and what it returns. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this aspect of corporate security practice it covers ends in something applicable. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within corporate security practice will be evidenced six months later.
