Financial crime remains one of the greatest threats for businesses, financial and public institutions worldwide. It drains earnings and may expose both the entity and its senior management to criminal and civil liability. And worst of all, it can significantly damage companies’ most valuable assets – their reputation and their brand value.
Efficient prevention and timely detection are therefore critical to safely manage your risks. Training employees is key to raise awareness for these topics and sensitise them for risks.
In close collaboration with PwC's subject matter experts, PwC's Academy has designed a training curriculum to support the learning journey into anti-money laundering and terrorism financing but also into frauds, bribery, market abuse and whistleblowing.
The curriculum’s pedagogic approach is to propose an extensive learning universe along with the ability to blend digital and live formats for an optimal learning experience.
To answer questions and training needs at different stages of one's career, our curriculum is structured over 3 levels: Foundation, Knowledge & Competence and Fit & Proper.
