PrintGeospatial analysts involved in AML/CTF investigations plan and conduct analysis to provide actionable location intelligence for decision makers trying to stop transactions that fund crime and terrorism. This lesson continues the AML/CTF case study with additional information and datasets.
Section 6.1 reviews methods of integrating geospatial analysis into AML/CTF, considerations of the laws and higher authorities guiding investigations, and ways to present findings for decision making.
At the successful completion of Lesson 6, you should be able to:
- Integrate geospatial analysis with investigative techniques;
- Discriminate the difference of common financial transactions and patterns of fraud;
- Design an efficient workflow to analyze a complex AML/CTF case;
- Evaluate the results of geospatial analysis and propose recommendation to proceed;
- Reflect on learning through first half of the course; and
- Draft a second iteration of Term Project proposal.
