ICA Specialist Certificate in Trade Based Money Laundering

Course level: Level 2 - Specialist

Trade based money laundering is a highly effective way to launder the proceeds of crime or finance terrorism. By exploiting the complexities of international trade, criminals can transmit huge amounts of value across borders with little chance of detection.
