AML Certification Centre

AML Certification Centre awarded contract by CEPOL to deliver EU Diploma Course on Financial Investigations

Following a competitive procurement procedure, AML Certification Centre has been selected by CEPOL, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training, to design, develop and deliver the EU Diploma Course on Financial Investigations, delivered together with Hochschule Neu-Ulm (Germany), which acts as the academic awarding body.

Together with Hochschule Neu-Ulm, we are building what we believe will become the reference standard for financial investigations training in Europe: practical, simulator-based and accredited at master's level.

The programme combines structured online learning with intensive face-to-face training, designed for police, customs, tax and FIU experts working to counter organised crime and terrorism financing.

Our proposal received a final evaluation score of 95.80 out of 100, including the highest possible scores on the two highest-weighted criteria: course design and micro-credentials methodology.

Development begins this year, with the first cohort expected to start in 2027.

Join our new webinar, OSINT 3.0: Agentic AI in Financial Crime Investigations, where we'll explore how agentic AI is transforming the way investigators conduct OSINT, due diligence, sanctions screening and adverse media research.

The session will feature:

• Oskar Gross – Co-Founder & CEO at Glazer Technologies, former Head of the National Criminal Police (Estonia)
• Ago Ambur – Co-Founder & COO at Glazer Technologies, former Head of the Cybercrime Bureau (Estonia)
• Andrei Sribny – CEO and Co-Founder, AML Certification Centre

We'll look at real investigative cases, demonstrate how the new methodology works in practice, and discuss how AI adds value while investigators remain focused on analysis, evidence and decision-making.

(!) From now on, all our webinars will be hosted on our new learning platform.

OSINT 3.0: Agentic AI in Financial Crime Investigations - AML Certification Centre Manual OSINT workflows are being replaced by agentic AI. Instead of spending hours searching corporate registries, sanctions lists, adverse media and open sources, investigators can now use AI agents to gather, analyse and connect information in minutes.

Happy International FIU Day!

Today, we celebrate the professionals working within Financial Intelligence Units across the world.

Your expertise, dedication, and commitment to international cooperation help strengthen the global fight against financial crime and protect the integrity of financial systems worldwide.

Thank you for your important work 💙

A few days, hundreds of conversations, and many new connections 💚

Thank you, Money20/20 Europe!

The event impressed us with its scale, international community, and outstanding organisation. It was a valuable opportunity to catch up with existing partners, meet new people, and exchange ideas with professionals from across fintech, payments, banking, compliance, and technology.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to speak with us during the event, as well as the Money20/20 team for delivering such a well-organised experience.

If we did not have a chance to meet in Amsterdam, we would be pleased to continue the conversation here or via [email protected].

See you at the next event.

This week, we had the opportunity to visit the headquarters of bunq in Amsterdam and catch up with one of our valued partners.

For almost a year, AML Certification Centre has been supporting bunq through tailored workshops and training sessions focused on compliance topics aligned with the organisation’s evolving priorities and business needs.

As Europe’s second largest neobank, bunq continues to grow and expand into new markets. It was valuable to discuss current developments, understand the team’s focus areas, and exchange perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the industry today.

Partnerships are most effective when they go beyond training delivery. Open dialogue, practical feedback, and a shared commitment to continuous improvement help ensure that learning remains relevant to the realities organisations face every day.

We are grateful to the bunq team for the warm welcome, insightful discussions, and the trust they continue to place in us 💚

Strong partnerships grow when both sides keep raising the bar. That was clear during the recent visit of Vlad Polyak, Head of Business Development, with the Concentrix Romania team, where we discussed what’s next for our work together across FC&C.

It was great to see the momentum behind Concentrix Romania’s growth and the results the team continues to deliver. As the only Financial Crime & Compliance Centre of Excellence in EMEA, the team is setting a strong example, reflecting a clear commitment to continuous development. What particularly resonates with us is their approach to professional growth and regular upskilling initiatives.

Investing in people and continuously strengthening expertise is something we strongly believe in as well. So far, AML Certification Centre has certified 50+ professionals through tailored workshops and hands-on learning.

What's next? More upskilling, more knowledge sharing, and more ways to grow our impact together across EMEA.

We’ve made strong progress together already. Now we’re focused on what comes next.

A strong discussion starts with strong practitioners.

One of the panellists joining the discussion is Igoris Krzeckovskis – one of AML Certification Centre’s key experts, who many of you already know through our trainings, events, and international programmes.

Igoris is a former Head of Lithuania’s FIU and former Chair of the EU Council Anti-Fraud Working Group, with more than 30 years of experience in AML/CFT and financial crime investigations.

Over the course of his career, he has worked on international investigations with agencies across Europe and the United States. Today, he advises public institutions and regulators on AML reforms and asset recovery through projects with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

His experience across operational investigations, international cooperation, AML policy, and asset recovery brings exactly the kind of perspective this discussion is meant to explore.
