Introduction

Effective management of money, both in terms of storage and transfer, plays a pivotal role in a wide array of criminal activities. In the contemporary landscape of cyber-enabled fraud, criminal operations extend far beyond the traditional realms of physical currency, checks, and credit cards. Instead, criminal actors continuously devise innovative and sophisticated payment methods. Understanding the intricate mechanisms that govern the flow of funds is a paramount factor in the identification and prevention of cybercrime.
This comprehensive course is meticulously designed to cater to the needs of current Information Technology (IT) professionals who aspire to elevate their competence in the fields of cyber and data governance. Whether your career trajectory is within the banking and finance sector or you operate in industries that engage in electronic business transactions with financial institutions, this course equips you with the knowledge and skills essential for success. By delving into the intricacies of financial transactions, you'll gain the expertise necessary to detect and combat cyber threats, safeguarding both your organisation and the broader digital ecosystem.
