ML/TF/PF & Sanctions Evasion Typologies – Smarter Transaction Monitoring: From Red Flags to Rule Logic

About this course

Learn about key Anti-Money Laundering (AML) typologies and how illicit funds are generated, moved, and concealed within the financial system. This course provides practical insight into common and emerging money laundering methods, helping participants identify red flags and strengthen AML detection and prevention controls.

  • Explain the structure and logic of ML/TF/PF and sanctions evasion typologies across placement, layering, and integration stages.
  • Analyze how illicit funds are placed, layered, and integrated through real-life schemes.
  • Identify key transactional and behavioural red flags linked to each typology.
  • Design and calibrate TM rules with appropriate thresholds, lookback windows, and suppression logic per customer segment.
  • Apply multi-signal correlation logic to reduce false positives and improve alert-to-SAR conversion rates.
  • Understand continuous TM tuning principles — rule retirement, baseline benchmarking, and dynamic risk lists.
  • Link typologies to TM rule parameters and internal control frameworks.
  • Apply practical case-based examples illustrating detection and escalation techniques.
