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.
