Who it’s for: frontline and branch staff, new joiners, operations, and junior compliance and analyst roles in Kenyan financial institutions.
Format: about 75 minutes, self-paced, with a 20-question final assessment (pass mark 80%) and a certificate.
Financial crime doesn’t announce itself. It moves through ordinary customers and ordinary transactions, which is why the people who meet customers and process their transactions matter most. This course gives you the knowledge and habits to recognize money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing, and to act correctly when something doesn’t fit.
By the end you will be able to:
- Explain money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing in plain terms, and why they matter to you and your institution.
- Describe the Kenyan laws and bodies behind the checks you perform.
- Carry out customer due diligence correctly, including beneficial owners and politically exposed persons.
- Recognize red flags and escalate them through the right channel.
- Handle a sanctions alert at the front line without clearing it yourself.
- Keep records that stand up, and never tip off a customer.
How it works: seven short lessons, each with a scenario or a check you can answer before moving on, then a 20-question final assessment. Pass mark 80%. You can retake the assessment. Your certificate is issued when you pass.
