Questions about Global Anti-Tax Evasion training

How long is the Global Anti-Tax Evasion course?

It's made up of 5 short microlessons. Learners can finish it in one sitting or spread it over a few days, and 5Mins sends reminders until it is done.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Learners get a certificate of completion once they finish every microlesson and complete the situational tests. The record is stored in 5Mins for audits.

Why does tax evasion matter to financial services firms?

Banks, wealth managers and other financial firms act as gatekeepers. Tax evasion often runs through accounts, structures and transactions they provide, so they carry due diligence, reporting and prevention duties.

Is there a version for my country?

5Mins also has Anti-Tax Evasion courses for the UK, the EU and Canada, and an Anti-facilitation of Tax Evasion course. This global version covers the principles that apply across jurisdictions.

Who should take this course?

Relationship managers, onboarding, KYC and AML teams, and the compliance officers who review their work.

Can I try the course first?

Yes. Request a free sample lesson and book a short demo with our team. After your demo, we'll share sample lessons with you so you can see the format for yourself.
