Our Anti-Money Laundering Scenarios help you to maintain your knowledge and understand how to apply AML techniques in practice.
Released quarterly, the scenarios help to embed the right approach to the exploring and decision-making that should be an everyday part of your approach to anti-money laundering in your law firm. Each scenario takes about 10-15 minutes to complete and includes feedback and a quiz.
The scenarios are based on real examples and put you in the hot seat. Can you spot the money-launderer? You get to decide what evidence to explore and what questions to ask. Then you get to decide what to do next. Should you report to the client? Continue acting? Report to your money laundering reporting officer (MLRO)?
The scenarios are ideal for busy lawyers who already understand their obligations and don’t need the introductory course. But for anyone new to AML, please see our e-learning course Anti-Money Laundering for Law Firms.
Content
In each Anti-Money Laundering scenario you will decide how to deal with the situation that is presented. What AML checks should you make? What questions should you ask the parties? How will you decide what actions should be taken?

A potential new client is referred by a partner in an overseas office. Money arrives in the firm’s bank account and your Accounts team want to know what to do with it.

"An engaging and enjoyable course covering everything a lawyer needs to know about the current regulations and their obligations.
I found Kinch Robinson's Anti-Money Laundering training detailed and comprehensive, compared to courses I have attended previously which have been brief.
It was also useful that I could pause the course part way through and resume later, meaning I completed it over a couple of days."
