This workshop provides an immersive, simulation-based experience where participants engage directly with real financial-crime typologies. Through structured role-play and step-by-step case analysis, attendees learn how criminals operate, how suspicious patterns develop, and how to respond using proper compliance and investigative procedures. Participants will work in teams to review evidence, identify red flags, conduct escalation assessments, prepare internal reports, and defend their decisions in a controlled training environment that mirrors real-world financial-crime scenarios.

Immersive role-play based on real typologies

• Participants take on roles such as: client-facing staff, clients, investigators, MLRO, risk officers, and supervisors.

• Credible narratives built from real cases, including documentation, emails, financial statements, message logs, and transaction flows.

• Designed to replicate pressure, ambiguity, and decision constraints faced in real investigations.

Participants analyze suspicious patterns step by step

• Guided analysis of transactional behaviour, client inconsistencies, KYC gaps, and hidden structures.

• Evidence review: invoices, IDs, bank statements, communications, ownership documents and monitoring alerts.

• Identification of early red flags and late-stage escalation triggers.

• Techniques for detecting layering, structuring, misuse of corporate vehicles, proxy actors, digital fraud patterns, and crypto exposure.

• Application of FATF-aligned risk indicators across multiple crime types.

Teams prepare internal reports & escalation decisions

• Teams prepare full case files, including red-flag assessments, risk summaries, and recommended actions.

• Drafting of internal escalation notes, STR/SAR-style narratives, and justification of decisions.

• Presentation and defense of decisions to a mock “Compliance Committee” or MLRO panel.

• Focus on documentation quality, evidence-based reasoning, and non–tipping-off communication.

• End-of-course debrief to compare team approaches and consolidate best practices
