Module One - Legislative and Regulatory Responses & Patterns of Offending and Victimization (four weeks)

This foundational course provides an overview of the regulatory landscape in relation to financial crime. It provides context for the issue of financial crime, including its definition, scope and harms, as well as the international and domestic policy and legislative controls designed to limit those harms. It will include a historical recap of Canada's experience with financial crime (with a focus on organized crime), set against its ratification of treaties, adoption of supranational standards, and consequential amendments to its legislation, law enforcement efforts, and regulatory activities. Additionally, it will address contemporary financial crime typologies and trends, including Internet-facilitated financial crimes.

Module Two - Financial Crime Risk Assessment and Mitigation (four weeks)

This course will have as its central aim the accumulation of insights of the previous course into a sustainable and effective framework for assessing and managing financial crime risks. Drawing from the exposition of financial crime threats in Module One, this course instructs you on the development, documentation, and evaluation of effective financial crime risk control frameworks. It will include topics such as standards for the reporting and presentation of evidence to render operational and policy findings that are accessible and compelling for specialist and non-specialist readers. It will also emphasize the monitoring of known and emerging risks, providing efficient support to your existing or prospective management that contributes toward continuing professional development for yourself and the financial crime analysis sector.

Module Three - Cryptocurrency Fundamentals & Cryptocurrency / Blockchain Anti-Money Laundering and Fraud Investigations (two weeks)

This course will provide a foundation into trending financial technology, including cryptocurrency and Blockchain. You will gain an extensive understanding of what cryptocurrencies are and how they work. You will also gain the necessary foundation to prepare for the Certified Bitcoin Professional (CBP) Exam. The course will discuss how cryptocurrencies are being used to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing and a wide range of illicit activities. You will also receive a demonstration of how transactions are conducted on the Blockchain and tools that are used to detect illicit activities.

Modules Four and Five - register for WCC200.
