Course overview

Financial crime is increasingly characterised by rapidly changing criminal methodologies, complex networks, digital transactions and large volumes of financial and non-financial information. Financial intelligence functions therefore require analytical approaches capable not only of identifying known patterns, but also of detecting emerging behaviours, anticipating potential risks and supporting forward-looking intelligence development.

This five-day programme explores the application of Artificial Intelligence, predictive analytics and emerging analytical technologies to financial-crime intelligence. It focuses on how organisations can use historical and real-time information to identify patterns, model risk, detect emerging threats, generate early-warning indicators and enhance intelligence-led decision-making.

The programme combines AI concepts, predictive modelling, behavioural analytics, financial-crime risk analysis, emerging technology and intelligence innovation. Particular attention is given to responsible AI, model limitations, explainability and the continued role of human analytical judgement.
