In the last AFB training survey, nearly 80% of respondents cited Financial Crime/AML as their top priority for training. Based on this feedback, AFB in partnership with Great Chatwell Academy of Learning (GCAL) have created a Financial Crime Masterclass series for 2025. The AFB is a trusted provider of training courses, we work closely with our training partners to ensure that courses are bespoke and relevant to the AFB membership. All attendees have the opportunity to network with fellow professionals and each course is competitively priced.
Held in-person and delivered by Lee Byrne from AFB’s training partner Great Chatwell Academy of Learning (GCAL), each session is CPD accredited (there is no assessment) and will last for three hours. Lee will be joined by carefully selected senior practitioners to ensure that each Masterclass delivers the information that delegates require to meet the challenge of regulatory compliance and changing criminal landscape. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and questions.
This series is designed to assist professionals from compliance, and risk functions. Financial Crime professionals, MLROs and DMLROs, line two and line three risk management officers including Internal Auditors and those with quality assurance responsibilities as well as Board members who chair risk committees, customer due diligence analysts and transaction monitoring officers.
These courses are relevant for previous attendees of the AFB Financial Crime Diploma, all content has been updated to include the latest practice.
This Masterclass is designed to support attendees to complete an FCRA that meets the requirements of regulatory expectations. It will also provide the basis for the framework of systems and controls that cascades from the assessment of all financial crime risks, and not just money laundering.
