Course overview
In this one-hour webinar presented by Anton van Wyk CA(SA), non-financial staff — from receptionists to admin and support clerks — will gain a clear, practical understanding of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combatting the Financing of Terrorism (CFT). We first define AML and CFT to highlight why everyone in the organisation, including you, is a first line of defence! You’ll learn about South Africa’s key laws (FICA, POCA, POCDATARA), the latest 2025 updates — including new requirements for crypto and tighter penalties — and how these translate into everyday tasks. Through a step-by-step mini scenario of money laundering via fake invoices, you’ll see how routine processes can be exploited. Principle-based learning will sharpen your ability to spot “red flags”, while our practical toolkit (e.g., checklists, escalation flowcharts, SAR guidance) ensures you know exactly what to do, when, and how. By the end, you’ll leave with clear action steps, resources, and the confidence to protect your business/employer against illicit finance. In completing this learning engagement, you will have developed the competencies in the green section below.
