Course Overview

This course focuses on how global financial crimes are identified, conducted and monitored, while also reviewing countermeasures and regulatory frameworks that are in place to combat financial crimes.

The rapid advancement of technology and digital transformation has contributed to the growth and complexity of financial crimes, yet there is a significant shortage of domain experts and specialists who understand and can prevent financial fraud.
Participants of this course will gain an in-depth understanding of financial crimes and their implications, as well as the tools needed to prevent these crimes.

What You Will Learn:

Emerging financial crimes, including cryptocurrency, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), pump and dump approaches, and general types of financial crimes, such as Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes.

You will also get to know the obstacles to understanding financial crimes and the solutions used in fighting them and become familiar with emerging technologies to combat financial fraud.
