Description

In simple terms, money laundering is when attempts are made to make ‘dirty’ money look ‘clean’. ‘Dirty’ money has usually been obtained through criminal activity and is not able to be used in an ordinary way without raising the suspicions of financial institutions and the authorities. Criminals therefore seek to launder their illicit profits in order to disguise their origin. This allows the money to then be utilised freely within the mainstream financial system.

In this course you will learn about the warning signs and red flags that should alert employees in a business that a customer may be involved in money laundering or terrorism financing.

You will also explore the role and importance of Suspicious Activity Reporting with the NCA, how to file a report and how to ensure it is of a high quality.

In order to complete the course, you must achieve 80% or more in the final multiple choice quiz.

You will earn 3 CPD points on completion of the course, this course will take around 3 hours to complete and the certificate will last for two years.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
