Course summary

Build expertise that creates measurable value.

Exchange Houses operate within one of the most highly regulated sectors in the financial services industry, making robust Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT) compliance essential for protecting financial integrity and meeting regulatory expectations. The AML Compliance CPD for Exchange Houses Programme is designed to provide Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for professionals working in exchange houses and money service businesses. The programme strengthens participants' understanding of AML, CFT, and Counter Proliferation Financing (CPF) obligations in accordance with UAE legislation, the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) regulations, and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations. Participants will develop practical knowledge of customer due diligence (CDD), sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, suspicious transaction reporting, risk assessment, governance, and internal controls while exploring emerging financial crime risks and current regulatory developments affecting the sector. Through practical case studies and real-world compliance scenarios, this programme enables professionals to maintain regulatory competence and contribute to effective AML compliance within Exchange Houses.
