AML Focus: Identifying Unusual Activity, UBOs, Managing Directors & Control Persons
Effective Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance requires the ability to critically assess financial and legal documents, not merely collect them. This training provides a practical, AML-focused approach to understanding and interpreting financial reports and Articles of Association as key source documents in customer due diligence (CDD), enhanced due diligence (EDD), and ongoing monitoring.
AML Focus: In-Depth Analysis of Financial Reports
Financial statements are a critical source of information in AML assessments. This part of the training focuses on how to understand, analyze, and critically assess financial reports to identify potential red flags.
Participants will learn how to:
- Read and interpret balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements from an AML perspective
- Identify abnormalities, inconsistencies, and unusual patterns
- Assess whether financial performance aligns with the stated business activities
- Recognize indicators of unusual or suspicious events, including unexplained losses, unusual income streams, or irregular cash flows
- Use financial information to support risk classification, EDD, and ongoing monitoring
The emphasis is on detecting risk signals, not accounting theory.
