This certificate addresses the urgent demand for professionals who understand both technical aspects and legal obligations including AML/CFT requirements and transaction monitoring. With enforcement actions increasing and regulatory scrutiny intensifying, this qualification is essential for maintaining operational resilience and avoiding costly regulatory breaches.
