A two-day workshop for people who will act on what they learn: money laundering, fraud and sanctions evasion as they arrive at banks, payment firms and fintechs, and the work of catching them — real cases on the table, decisions made in the room, under the EU AML rules that apply from 2027.

Day 1 · Threats & frameworksEach morning runs two short talks per topic plus a panel and live Q&A. Each afternoon puts it to work in small groups — clinics on alert-to-freeze, a defensible SAR/STR, and the sanctions calls analysts get wrong.
Day 1 programme
Day 2 · Fraud & convergenceAML, fraud and targeted financial sanctions are taught and worked together, because that is how they arrive on a desk — not in separate teams. Day 2 includes a live deepfake and voice-clone demonstration of what now reaches the onboarding desk.
Day 2 programme
Ready for 2027The EU AML Regulation applies in 2027 and the AI Act's high-risk obligations follow that December. Both are threaded across every session, and the final clinic turns two days into one prioritised readiness roadmap you can take back to your institution.
Reserve a placeThe room is around a hundred people, which is what lets every afternoon run as a clinic with real facilitator feedback. Mixed groups take one realistic cross-border case — blending laundering, fraud and sanctions evasion — through to a defensible escalation decision, then debrief with facilitator feedback.

Session 1 · 65 min · two talks
Typologies as they stand now — money mules and trade-based laundering — then crypto money arriving at the bank's door: risk appetite and source of funds. Questions from the room at the end.
Session 2 · 50 min · two talks
Sanctions evasion since 2022 and what now reaches a Baltic bank. Then ownership and control, and screening that holds up: EU against OFAC, the 50% question, matching and thresholds.
Panel · 45 min
Three short cases just past the point where the rulebook answers: one payments, one crypto, one banking. A panellist commits to a call, one new fact arrives, and at least one position changes. It sets up the afternoon.
Exercise 3 · 65 min · hands-on
Small groups take one alert through targeted information requests, an asset freeze applied in time, and a report narrative that holds up. Facilitated debrief at the end.
Exercise 4 · 60 min · hands-on
Separate true hits from false positives, resolve a question of ownership and control, flag a circumvention pattern, and record a rationale that holds up to review.
Followed by the evening networking reception.
Session 5 · 65 min · two talks
How a fraud prevention environment is actually built, layer by layer, rather than hoped for. Then the route from a scam to a money-mule network, drawn from police investigations.
Session 6 · 65 min · joint case
One case walked from an institution's first alert through to the police: what information lets them act, what the institution should preserve, and how the cooperation works in practice.
Panel · 45 min
What is genuinely different rather than renamed, where firms over- and under-invest, and what a supervisor will expect to see evidenced when AMLR applies.
Exercise 7 · 90 min · hands-on · where both days come together
Mixed groups work one case blending laundering, fraud and sanctions evasion, from the first alert to a defensible escalation decision. Both days come together here.
Exercise 8 · 60 min · hands-on
Map your controls against the AML Regulation, inventory the AI already in use and whether you are provider or deployer, and leave with a prioritised roadmap.
Certificates handed out in the room, and the workshop closes.

Anyone whose work touches AML, fraud or sanctions in banks, EMIs and PSPs, fintechs, CASPs and crypto businesses, payment and card providers, and gambling and iGaming operators. MLROs, deputy MLROs, heads of compliance, analysts, anti-fraud and FRAML leads, sanctions, KYC and transaction-monitoring teams — and equally training leads, operations specialists, risk, audit and investigations colleagues. All experience levels are welcome, and the roles above are examples rather than requirements.
It is a working room of roughly a hundred rather than an auditorium, and the afternoons are run as clinics. Every morning is structured teaching; every afternoon puts it to work in small groups, closing with one cross-border case worked from first alert to a defensible escalation decision.
The two days are built as one arc — Day 2's case lab deliberately requires Day 1's material — so places are sold for both days together.
€499 + VAT (the standard rate) covers both full days, all sessions and clinics, lunch and refreshments on both days, the evening networking reception after day one, CPD-accredited training with a Certificate of Completion, and the job aids produced in the clinics — typology red-flag checklists, a 2026 fraud-signal reference, a sanctions screening review aid, and an AMLR and AI-readiness roadmap template.

Reaching Baltic and Nordic compliance teams from outside the region is hard, and this is the room to be in. Three tiers are available, from logo presence through to a speaking slot in the programme, and each one includes delegate places so your own team attends rather than appearing on a banner.
