Terrorist Financing

Jump to payment

The government is continuing to emphasise the high risk posed by terrorist financing and terrorist property. In line with this focus, this course outlines the latest updates and examples found in the National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (July 2025).

As you progress through this course, you will learn about the corporate liability and compliance obligations that law firms must meet to address the risk of terrorist financing. You will also learn about the practical steps that firms need to take to comply with the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 and the Terrorism Act 2000. The failure to disclose offence is also examined, as are the strict protocols that must be followed to avoid committing a ‘tipping off’ offence.

This course covers essential points in relation to terrorist financing relevant for compliance officers and practitioners with financial responsibilities. Whether you are new to this area or would like an update and refresher, this course is for you – enrol now!
