Product description

The ICA Specialist Certificate in Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) is a specialized qualification offered by the International Compliance Association (ICA), designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify, assess, and mitigate the risks associated with terrorist financing. As global threats continue to evolve, this certification provides critical insight into the methods and channels used to fund terrorist activities and how financial institutions and regulated entities can effectively respond.

This course covers key topics such as the nature and typologies of terrorist financing, global regulatory frameworks (including FATF Recommendations), the role of financial institutions in CFT, risk indicators, customer due diligence (CDD), and transaction monitoring specific to terrorism-related threats. It also explores the challenges of detecting low-value but high-risk transactions often associated with terrorist financing.

Ideal for AML officers, compliance professionals, risk managers, and government or law enforcement personnel, this certification helps organizations strengthen their defenses and align with international CFT standards.
