Transaction monitoring plays a critical role in identifying potential financial crime and ensuring organisations meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations. This course introduces the fundamentals of transaction monitoring, helping learners understand how financial institutions use automated systems, detection rules, and analyst reviews to identify suspicious activity.
Participants explore how alerts are generated, why false positives occur, and how monitoring teams assess transactions against customer profiles and risk indicators. Through mentor-led learning and practical scenarios, learners practise identifying unusual patterns and reviewing alerts within a structured compliance workflow.
The programme also examines escalation procedures, documentation standards, and collaboration between monitoring analysts, investigation teams, and compliance officers. By the end of the training, learners will understand how to interpret alerts effectively and contribute to stronger financial crime detection processes.
