Anti-Money Laundering & Financial Crime Compliance
AML/CFT regimes, sanctions, typologies, and examiner-ready compliance programmes.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Your risk register satisfies every supervisor who reads it, while the anti-money laundering exposures that could actually hurt the institution are not on it. Risk that is documented rather than governed is discovered in a crisis — at the highest possible price. This programme rebuilds anti-money laundering from the ground up: appetite that constrains decisions, architecture that anticipates shocks, and command that works under pressure.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Design a anti-money laundering risk architecture that anticipates rather than documents.
- Build anti-money laundering resilience: continuity, recovery and the capacity to absorb shocks.
- Price anti-money laundering risk into strategy, capital and operating decisions.
- Report anti-money laundering to the board in a way that informs decisions rather than reassures them.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
Friday, 21:40
A a national power utility is hit by a ransomware event with anti-money laundering systems only partially segmented. The attackers threaten to release customer data; the board wants service restored, the regulator wants answers, and the media already has a source.
Your decision: In the first two hours: payment posture, restoration sequence, disclosure — and who commands the anti-money laundering response.
IPAT Data Lab™
The anti-money laundering incidents at a mining group are individually small and collectively serious — and no one has connected them.
Dataset: Synthetic multi-year incident, near-miss and control data for a mining group.
Your task: Build the heat map, test the tolerances, and write the 4 a.m. command card for the top exposure.
A anti-money laundering heat map, impact tolerances and an incident command card.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
