What is the AML Investigation course about?

AML investigators often work within legacy playbooks that don't scale with evolving typologies or technology. Without structured, forward-looking methods, teams default to checklist-driven processes that miss subtle patterns, delay resolution, and increase operational load. The gap isn't effort , it's modern, systematized methodology.
