CAMP · Certified Anti Money Laundering Professional
AML Typology & Monitoring Rules Reference
A working reference of common money-laundering typologies (structuring, layering, trade-based ML, sanctions evasion, and more) and the transaction-monitoring red flags used to detect each one.
Part of a Live, Graded Simulation
This reference sits alongside Riskpro's CAMP (Certified Anti Money Laundering Professional) simulation — a live, graded case-management exercise where you triage and investigate realistic AML alerts exactly as an L1 analyst or L2 investigator would on a real compliance desk. Every case pulls its own customer profile, transaction ledger and red flags, and every decision you make, including how you write up your rationale, is scored against a deterministic rubric, with a Director and Investigation Lead guiding you through the programme. It's the practical counterpart to this reference: read the theory here, then apply it against real alerts inside the simulation.
Register for CAMP →Typologies
- Structuring / Smurfing
- Breaking a large sum into multiple smaller transactions, often just under a reporting threshold, to avoid triggering currency transaction reporting.
- Layering
- Moving funds through multiple accounts, entities or jurisdictions in rapid succession to obscure the audit trail back to the original source.
- Trade-Based Money Laundering
- Misrepresenting the price, quantity or quality of goods in import/export documentation to move value across borders under the guise of trade.
- Shell / Front Company Layering
- Using companies with no genuine business activity, opaque beneficial ownership, or a registered address that resolves to a residential unit or mail drop.
- Rapid Movement of Funds

- Funnel / Pass-Through Account
- An account receives many small deposits from geographically dispersed sources and consolidates them into one or a few large outbound transfers.

- Attempting to transact with a sanctioned individual, entity, vessel or jurisdiction, often via name variants, intermediaries or front companies.

- Activity connected to a politically exposed person that is inconsistent with their declared official income, or that follows shortly after a change in office.
- Proliferation Financing
- Transactions linked to dual-use goods, embargoed technology, or entities associated with weapons proliferation networks.
