For obliged entities under the German AML Act, prevention is a core duty — with personal responsibility at every desk. The financial sector faces heightened duties: supervisors, auditors and clients expect demonstrably trained teams.

The course deepens the enhanced duties of the financial sector: customer due diligence (KYC) and enhanced measures for high-risk cases, identifying beneficial owners and PEP checks, transaction monitoring with typical red flags — and filing SARs via goAML without tipping off. The content is coupled to GwG (Verpflichtete § 2) and updated whenever the legal situation changes.

The topic ships in two formats: a full story course (approx. 35 minutes) with voiced video dialogues, decisions and a final test — or a micro series (approx. 35 minutes in total) released in short units over several weeks. Learners receive a personal certificate after passing the test; every completion is documented audit-proof. Available in up to 10 languages with native voice-over.
