Diploma in Anti-Money Laundering in a Fintech Environment 

 

Programme Overview

The Diploma in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) in a Fintech Environment, a level 8 qualification on the National Framework of Qualifications, provided by PAT and awarded by TU Dublin is designed to provide professionals, practitioners and other stakeholders with the skills and competencies that supports a culture of excellence in AML compliance.

Updated to account for both recent events, and the CBI’s recognition of a dedicated AML/CFT role (PCF 52), this programme is for participants who want to understand the evolving AML function in a fast moving digital and evolving Fintech environment. 

Specifically:

• Addresses the AML Framework from the perspective of a wide range of providers in the Irish Financial Services ecosystem, specifically                    operational and strategic AML requirements in an increasingly data-driven Fintech environment.

• Examines core elements in the AML Cycle and contemporary (technologically enhanced) best practice in the risk assessment, client onboarding,    and life cycle management of client accounts for traditional financial institutions, Fintech’s, and other professional services providers.

• Evaluates the Evolution of AML Compliance, for example: the adoption and use of digital identities, the innovation in payments infrastructure,      and the challenges of both protecting, and sharing, client’s data in an increasingly digitalised environment.

• Analyses Fintech Innovation & AML Compliance through the demonstration of a range of contemporary AML (RegTech) solutions, the potential   of various technologies to enhance the operational efficiency, increase the quality of actionable information, and imbed a risk-based approach     into the AML Compliance Cycle.
