This advanced program closes the single biggest gap in conventional U.S. real estate AML training: what happens the moment a transaction crosses a border. Most domestic AML training stops at U.S. law — this module starts where that training ends.
Across 10 structured modules, it bridges U.S. domestic law with FATF's 40 Recommendations, OECD guidance, and EU/UK sanctions regimes, giving real estate professionals a working framework for transactions that touch more than one jurisdiction.
A central theme is Recommendation 22, which makes real estate professionals regulated Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) under international standards — and the module walks through exactly how a foreign Politically Exposed Person (PEP) buying U.S. luxury property triggers automatic enhanced due diligence obligations as a result.
It also covers the practical reach of the Egmont Group's 166-country Financial Intelligence Unit network, through which a domestic U.S. transaction can trigger a foreign investigation that a broker or title company never saw coming. This is, deliberately, the international layer that most conventional AML training treats as though it does not exist.
