Gain Your One‑Year Certificate in Anti‑Money Laundering (AML)

Anti‑Money Laundering (AML) regulation is a cornerstone of the UK’s financial and professional services environment. Accountants, bookkeepers, financial professionals, and regulated firms are legally required to maintain effective AML systems and controls to identify, prevent, and report suspicious activity. Keeping your knowledge up to date is vital—not only to meet regulatory obligations, but also to protect your clients and your professional reputation.

This in‑depth 26‑lesson course provides a comprehensive introduction to AML, delivered by David Winch, a highly respected forensic accountant and one of the UK’s leading AML trainers. With extensive experience in forensic accounting, AML compliance, supervision, and professional training, David brings a practical, real‑world perspective to anti‑money laundering—grounded in how financial crime is actually detected, investigated, and prevented.

Designed to give you both confidence and competence, the course equips you with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to meet UK AML obligations effectively and consistently.

You’ll begin with the fundamentals of money laundering and AML regulation, then progressively build your expertise across key areas such as client onboarding, customer due diligence, identifying red flags, and submitting suspicious activity reports. Learning from a forensic accountant with deep AML expertise ensures the material goes beyond theory and focuses on how AML works in practice.

This course is ideal for professionals seeking a recognised One‑Year Certificate in Anti‑Money Laundering and who want to learn from a leading authority in the field.
