This module focuses on anti-money laundering in East Africa, with a specific spotlight on Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. It examines the fundamental meaning of money laundering and its stages, anti-money laundering (AML) laws and regulations, reporting of money laundering suspicions, terrorist financing, sanctions, types of money laundering offences and relevant penalties/sanctions. Specific contexts from the United Kingdom are included to broaden the learning scope and enrich the content with best practices from a country which has a strong legal and regulatory framework. The module uses several case studies to illustrate the practical dimensions of AML with a view to enhance the grasp of the fundamental concepts. Many ‘Did you know…’ facts have been incorporated to accord the learner to reflect on the key concepts pertinent to AML.
