12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Most AML programs are policy-heavy but operationally fragile, breaking down when product or engineering teams move fast.

The situation this course is for

Traditional compliance frameworks struggle to keep pace with agile delivery cycles. Siloed ownership between legal, risk, and tech teams leads to inconsistent implementation, delayed launches, and reactive fixes. Without an operationally-sound approach, organizations face inefficiencies, rework, and misalignment when scaling.

Who this is for

Technology and compliance professionals in fintech, digital banking, and regulated platforms who need to operationalize AML programs across product, engineering, and risk functions.

Who this is not for

This is not for auditors seeking checklist compliance, or professionals focused solely on regulatory interpretation without implementation intent.

What you walk away with

  • Design AML controls that are embedded, not bolted-on
  • Align compliance objectives with product development timelines
  • Operationalize monitoring and reporting across data and engineering systems
  • Lead cross-functional implementation with shared accountability
  • Deploy a living AML program that evolves with business model changes
