Product description

The ICA Specialist Certificate in Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML) is a targeted qualification provided by the International Compliance Association (ICA), designed to help professionals understand and address the complex risks associated with trade-based financial crime. TBML is one of the most sophisticated and challenging forms of money laundering, exploiting the international trade system to disguise illicit funds as legitimate trade transactions.

This certification explores the typologies, red flags, and regulatory responses to TBML. Key topics include over- and under-invoicing, multiple invoicing, misrepresentation of goods and services, and the use of shell companies and complex trade routes. The course also covers relevant international standards and regulatory expectations, such as FATF guidelines and Wolfsberg principles, while offering practical strategies for detecting and mitigating TBML risks.

Designed for AML professionals, trade finance teams, compliance officers, and regulators, this course provides essential knowledge and tools to identify suspicious trade activity and safeguard global trade from criminal abuse.
