Product description
The ICA Specialist Certificate in Anti Money Laundering and Art is a unique and highly focused qualification offered by the International Compliance Association (ICA), designed for professionals operating in the art market, including galleries, auction houses, art dealers, and financial institutions working with art-related clients. This certification explores the specific vulnerabilities of the art world to money laundering and financial crime, providing actionable knowledge to identify and mitigate risks.
The course delves into the nature of the art market—its opacity, high-value transactions, and global movement of assets—which can be exploited for illicit purposes. It covers regulatory obligations, including customer due diligence (CDD), beneficial ownership, suspicious activity reporting (SAR), and international frameworks like the EU’s Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive. Practical case studies and real-world scenarios help learners understand how criminals exploit the art sector and how compliance professionals can respond.
Ideal for AML officers, compliance professionals, art market participants, and legal advisors, this certificate empowers individuals and organizations to operate ethically and comply with evolving regulations in a high-risk, high-value industry.
