Terrorism requires funding, and disrupting that funding reduces terrorist activity. This 15-minute express course helps staff identify the channels through which terrorist funding moves, become aware of the measures used to disrupt it, and understand their own duty to combat terrorist financing by spotting and reporting suspicious signs.
Terrorist financing differs from money laundering in an important way: the sums are often small and the funds may be entirely legitimate in origin, which means transaction monitoring calibrated for laundering will miss it. Human judgement about context matters more here than pattern detection. Training staff to notice what does not fit is the control that actually applies.
