Diploma in Anti-Money Laundering in a Fintech Environment 

Programme Overview

The Diploma in Anti-Money Laundering in a Fintech Environment is a level 8 qualification on the National Framework of Qualifications, offered by the Compliance Institute’s education provider PAT (Professional Accountancy Training) and awarded by TU Dublin.

The programme is designed to provide professionals, practitioners and other stakeholders with the skills and competencies that supports a culture of AML compliance.

In the context of the technologically driven innovation in financial services (Fintech), the programme assesses the AML Framework from the perspective of a wide range of providers in the Irish Financial Services ecosystem – for example: Credit and Financial Institutions (‘Firms’) and Designated Non-Financial Business and Professions (DNFBP’s).

The programme examines the 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.

Analysing the role of the global watchdog Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and evaluating the challenges facing National Financial Investigation Units (FIU’s) in investigating and enforcing AML/CTF actions, is another central component to the course’s holistic approach to reinforcing/enhancing the effectiveness of Ireland’s existing AML/CFT compliance regime.

This course is for participants who want to understand the specific risks and the importance of AML and CFT in a fast moving digital and evolving Fintech environment.
