FAQs

Role-Based Learning Paths

Will there be different learning paths for different roles within my firm?

At this stage, all AML/CTF courses available on the Learning Channel are designed to provide a foundational understanding of AML/CTF obligations for all staff within an accounting practice.

While some firms may have staff with varying AML/CTF responsibilities, the current course suite is suitable for all team members and provides a strong foundation for AML/CTF compliance.

Future Learning Paths

We recognise that different roles within a firm require different levels of AML/CTF knowledge and responsibilities.

Role-specific learning paths are currently in development and will be introduced in a future update. These will be tailored to different roles such as Partners, Compliance Officers, Client-Facing Staff, and Administration teams.

In the meantime, all AML/CTF courses are designed as a foundational program suitable for all staff.
