Geldwäschebeauftragte:r in Kreditinstituten

Learn how to recognise and effectively combat money laundering and terrorist financing – with certification.

According to Section 6 (2) No. 2 of the German Money Laundering Act (GwG), internal security measures for the prevention of money laundering require the appointment of a money laundering officer. According to the GwG, credit institutions, financial services institutions, payment institutions, financial companies, insurance companies and endowment insurance companies are also obliged to do so. They must appoint a money laundering officer at management level and a deputy.

Our certificate course for money laundering officers provides in-depth knowledge of the legal requirements and practical tasks. Participants not only learn about the current regulatory requirements, but also the most important aspects of preventing and combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

Topics such as risk analysis, internal control mechanisms, suspicious activity reports and cooperation with supervisory authorities are covered in detail by experienced lecturers. Practical case studies prepare participants for the role of money laundering officer from both a legal and operational perspective.

Upon completion of the course and the web-based final exam, you will receive a certificate that can also be used as proof of competence for the BaFin.

In addition to valuable content, the course offers the perfect platform for networking. After completing the course, you will be able to successfully implement and monitor money laundering prevention systems in your organisation.
