Financial Crime Analyst Courses

Financial Crime Analysts are corporate professionals who detect, investigate, and disrupt financial crimes such as money laundering, tax evasion, terrorism financing, welfare fraud, banking scams, identity theft, embezzlement, corruption, and more. They develop and implement operating procedures, ICT tracking, and other internal controls to identify and flag irregular transactions and suspicious financial behaviour for investigation.

As a Financial Crime Analyst you could be developing operating procedures in collaboration with the compliance department, compiling supporting data (including financial transaction logs) during a business banking customer review, meeting with personnel from AUSTRAC (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre) to discuss information sharing, assisting the risk management team with a financial risk management review, or checking the backups to ensure the integrity of the organisation’s financial records.

Financial Crime Analysts spend their workdays analysing data, developing internal controls, and writing reports and recommendations that may be used as the basis for legal proceedings. To succeed you will need keen attention-to-detail and an unwavering commitment to accuracy and data integrity.
