Course: Anti-proliferation financing (APF) – Weapons of mass destruction
About the online training programme
Proliferation financing (or PF) involves the provision of funds or financial services used (directly or indirectly) for the manufacture, acquisition, possession, or delivery of weapons of mass destruction. What makes proliferation financing particularly challenging to detect is that it does not always resemble traditional financial crime. It may involve legitimate-looking trade, standard financial instruments, or entities not previously flagged for suspicious activity. The transaction itself might appear ordinary, while the true purpose remains hidden behind layers of complexity.
