Program Overview: What is Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) Compliance?
Designed for compliance, legal, and banking teams, Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) Compliance is Edstellar's instructor-led program on Switzerland's AML regime. Participants study AMLA scope and key duties, customer due diligence, risk profiling and monitoring, transaction monitoring and SAR filing, and audit readiness with control frameworks. The program is practitioner-built: duties you can execute, not statutes you can quote.
Across 24 hours and six modules, expert briefings alternate with guided case labs. Your team profiles a client for risk, works a transaction monitoring alert to a SAR decision, and drafts a control framework with instructor coaching and feedback on each exercise. Instructors review the judgment calls the way a FINMA auditor would. The program closes with a capstone: an end-to-end AMLA compliance case the team presents for critique.
AMLA enforcement has teeth, and weak customer due diligence shows up in the worst possible moments: regulatory findings, de-risking by correspondents, headlines. Teams know the acronyms but hesitate on the decisions. This program teaches your people to run AML as a disciplined operation: profile, monitor, escalate, file, and prove it all.
Your team finishes with an end-to-end AMLA compliance case from the capstone: client risk profile, monitoring rationale, a filed-style SAR narrative, and a control framework, reviewed by the instructor. It is the case file your compliance officer wishes every analyst could produce.
Sessions focus on customer due diligence, beneficial ownership checks, risk profiling, and ongoing monitoring. Participants practice spotting red flags and documenting decisions the way auditors expect. The program closes with audit readiness: control frameworks, file quality, and reporting lines that stand up to FINMA inspections.

Basic knowledge of financial services helps but is not required: the program starts with AMLA foundations before moving to labs. No prior AML experience is needed. Every cohort's labs and cases adapt to its own tools, client types, and regulatory context.

Build Swiss AML Casework With Traceable Diligence and Monitoring Decisions
Edstellar develops AMLA capability through connected onboarding, risk, monitoring, and reporting scenarios. Participants build fictional KYC files, examine transaction concerns, and test control evidence before presenting an end-to-end case. Review focuses on supported judgments, clear escalation, and documentation that explains the decisions made at each stage.
- Step 01
Consult
We discuss financial-services familiarity, onboarding responsibilities, and case-documentation challenges to identify priorities in due diligence, risk profiling, monitoring, reporting, and assurance evidence.
- Step 02
Plan
AMLA foundations lead into KYC and ownership, risk assessment, transaction monitoring, and reporting before control review and a complete simulated compliance case.
- Step 03
Align
Swiss financial-crime compliance expertise supports client-facing, legal, risk, and audit teams, connecting operational decisions with their respective documentation and review responsibilities.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional clients, ownership structures, and transaction patterns create realistic casework without exposing account information or submitting actual suspicious-activity reports.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants compile KYC evidence, investigate sample concerns, and audit control files, receiving feedback on risk reasoning, escalation, case continuity, and documentation gaps.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the case file for traceable customer checks, supported monitoring conclusions, coherent reporting rationale, and clear control evidence across the simulated lifecycle.
