Program Overview: What is MAS AML/CFT Compliance (Singapore) Corporate Training?
MAS AML/CFT Compliance (Singapore) is a 24-hour corporate training program for compliance officers, onboarding analysts, and risk teams at institutions regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. It covers the MAS regulatory landscape and Notice 626, customer due diligence and beneficial ownership, risk assessment and ongoing monitoring, sanctions and name screening, and suspicious transaction reporting. Learners finish by running an enterprise-level AML/CFT compliance review.
The program runs as six instructor-led modules with four guided practice labs. Learners map real MAS enforcement actions to breached provisions, build a CDD file for a layered corporate customer, score a sample customer book and set monitoring thresholds, tune screening alerts, and draft a full STR narrative. Instructors coach each investigation, giving feedback on judgment calls. The five-hour capstone has teams run the full compliance review on a simulated institution file set and present a findings memo.
Firms supervised by MAS face heavy enforcement when their controls exist only on paper: weak CDD, missed red flags, and late STRs draw fines and reputational damage. This program teaches teams to operate the full control cycle properly, from onboarding through monitoring to reporting, with documentation that stands up to an inspection. The payoff is a compliance function that catches financial crime early and can prove it.
The capstone leaves each team with a complete enterprise AML/CFT compliance review: a graded assessment of a simulated institution's controls, gap findings, and a remediation roadmap, presented as a findings memo. Back at work, learners carry a working method for CDD files, alert adjudication, and STR narratives that survives real-world pressure, so compliance shifts from box-ticking to a defensible line of defense the board can trust.
Teams Enhance their compliance Capability through guided labs and applied scenarios, not lectures alone. Employees Upskill in CDD, screening, and investigation workflows, then apply them to their Day-to-day Work. Collaboration improves as compliance, legal, and operations align on one defensible standard, and Performance is measured through the capstone compliance review rather than quizzes.

MAS AML/CFT Compliance (Singapore) Course Topics and Program Outline
This six-module, 24-hour program is a tailored Workshop built around hands-on practice. Each Session moves from foundation concepts to advanced application: real-world use cases become guided labs, and the tools covered in each Module are tested in a Workbook of practice exercises. The Learning Path closes with an Assessment through the capstone compliance review.
Built by Edstellar with AML/CFT compliance specialists
Built by practitioners who run MAS AML/CFT programs in production, shaped around your stack and use cases.
We profile your team's MAS AML/CFT exposure by product and customer segment, then align labs to your highest-risk touchpoints.
Teams study the MAS Notices, CDD rules, and beneficial-ownership standards, plus the enforcement trends shaping inspections.
Guided labs drill risk rating, screening operations, and transaction monitoring on scenarios drawn from Singapore case patterns.
The capstone simulates an enterprise AML/CFT review, producing findings and remediation plans the team can take straight into work.
Built for 24 hours of hands-on practice: every concept is drilled in labs and a full capstone compliance review.

Develop Evidence-Led AML and CFT Practice Within the MAS Framework
Edstellar connects the MAS AML/CFT framework with customer review, screening, and investigation work. Participants examine layered ownership, risk-rate sample customers, and document alert decisions before drafting suspicious transaction narratives. An institution-level review brings these activities together, with assessment focused on evidence, consistent reasoning, and clear reporting of control gaps.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore onboarding, monitoring, and compliance responsibilities alongside familiarity with MAS requirements to identify gaps in beneficial ownership, alert adjudication, and investigation documentation.
- Step 02
Plan
Learning begins with MAS Notices and customer due diligence, then develops risk ratings, screening decisions, and suspicious transaction reporting before the institution review.
- Step 03
Align
We align financial-crime compliance expertise with legal, audit, risk, and onboarding roles, adjusting case complexity to the cohort's products and existing program maturity.
- Step 04
Customize
Simulated customer files, ownership structures, and screening queues reflect relevant product risks, giving participants realistic adjudication practice without exposing customer identities or actual investigations.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants build CDD files, calibrate risk tiers, adjudicate screening alerts, and draft STR narratives, receiving feedback on evidence, decision records, and escalation reasoning.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We review the simulated institution findings memo for traceable customer evidence, consistent risk decisions, supported control findings, and clearly documented investigation and reporting conclusions.
