AML EU Training Course

Master EU Anti-Money Laundering compliance with comprehensive training on 6AMLD, AMLA supervision, and regulatory frameworks

Why AML EU Training Is Critical for Financial Services

The European Union's Anti-Money Laundering framework represents one of the most comprehensive regulatory approaches to combating financial crime globally. This training ensures professionals understand their obligations under EU directives (4AMLD, 5AMLD, 6AMLD), the upcoming Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) supervision, and the harmonized framework that applies directly across all Member States.

Our course covers customer due diligence procedures, beneficial ownership requirements, suspicious transaction reporting, and the criminal liability framework under 6AMLD. With money laundering penalties including up to four years imprisonment and unlimited corporate fines, this training provides the knowledge and tools needed to protect organizations and maintain compliance across EU jurisdictions.

Why This Training Is Essential for Your Organization

EU Anti-Money Laundering compliance protects organizations from severe reputational damage, regulatory penalties reaching millions of euros, and criminal liability while supporting the fight against organized crime, corruption, and terrorism financing across Europe. The harmonized EU framework ensures consistent application of AML standards across all Member States.

With the new AML Package and AMLA direct supervision coming into force, organizations must ensure their teams understand the strengthened framework that applies directly across all EU jurisdictions. Failure to implement effective AML controls can result in regulatory enforcement action, criminal prosecution of senior management, and loss of authorization to operate in financial services.

AML EU Training Course - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key EU AML Directives and their requirements?
The 4th, 5th, and 6th AML Directives form the current EU framework. 4AMLD introduced risk-based approaches, 5AMLD expanded scope to include cryptocurrency and art dealers, and 6AMLD established criminal liability standards with minimum four-year imprisonment for money laundering offenses.
How does AMLA supervision change AML compliance across the EU?
The Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) will provide direct EU-level supervision of high-risk financial institutions, creating harmonized standards and consistent enforcement across all Member States. This replaces the previous system of national supervision variations.
What are customer due diligence requirements under EU law?
EU CDD requirements include customer identification, beneficial ownership verification, ongoing monitoring, and enhanced due diligence for high-risk situations. PEP screening and source of wealth verification are mandatory for politically exposed persons and their families.
How should suspicious transactions be reported to EU authorities?
STRs must be filed promptly with national Financial Intelligence Units (like Tracfin in France or FIU-Nederland). Reports must include detailed transaction information while maintaining strict confidentiality to avoid tipping-off violations which carry criminal penalties.
