This Bangladesh AML/CFT Training Course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the laws, regulations, regulatory expectations, and operational requirements that form Bangladesh’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CFT) framework. Designed for professionals working within banks, financial institutions, mobile financial services providers, insurance companies, capital market entities, and designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs), the course combines regulatory knowledge with practical compliance application.
Participants will learn how money laundering and terrorist financing activities occur, the risks they pose to institutions and the wider economy, and the measures required to detect, prevent, and report suspicious activities. The course explores Bangladesh’s AML/CFT legal and regulatory framework, including the roles of the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), Bangladesh Bank, and other supervisory authorities, while also examining international standards established by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
Throughout the programme, learners will develop practical skills in Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), transaction monitoring, risk assessment, suspicious transaction reporting, goAML reporting procedures, and record-keeping obligations. The course also introduces the Risk-Based Approach (RBA), enabling participants to identify, assess, and mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks effectively.
In addition, participants will gain an understanding of compliance governance, internal controls, reporting obligations, legal protections available to reporting entities and compliance officers, and the penalties associated with non-compliance. The course also examines the growing importance of data protection, privacy obligations, and cybersecurity considerations within AML/CFT compliance programmes.
By the end of the training, participants will be equipped with the knowledge, practical understanding, and compliance awareness needed to support a robust AML/CFT framework, protect their institutions from financial crime risks, and contribute to the integrity, transparency, and stability of Bangladesh’s financial system.
