Study Pathways

Five ways through the same material

The curriculum is authored as a four-level academic progression, and that is the right order for a degree cohort. Most working officials arrive with a file on the desk instead. A track is a reading order for one role, with a short note explaining why each module earns its place in that sequence — nothing is added, nothing is watered down.

All 20 modules remain open to every learner. Tracks are advice, not gates. If you are unsure, start with Financial Investigator — it is the widest of the five.

Investigator / FIU analyst

Financial Investigator

Built around the working question of an investigator: where did the money come from, where did it go, and what can I prove. The sequence front-loads tracing mechanics and holds programme-level policy until the end, where it belongs for this role.

Auditor / transfer-pricing specialist

Tax Auditor

For the official whose entry point is the return and the ledger rather than the suspicious transaction report. Commercial IFF comes first; the criminal-law apparatus comes later, framed as what you escalate into and when.

Prosecutor / asset-recovery counsel

Prosecutor & Asset Recovery

Sequenced by the shape of a prosecution: elements of the offence, then proof of the flow, then cooperation, then confiscation and return. Technical layering modules are included at the depth needed to cross-examine, not to operate.

MLRO / compliance officer

Compliance & Reporting Institution

Written for the person on the other side of the report. The emphasis is on detection quality, escalation, and the enabler risk that sits inside your own firm — including the boardroom decisions that turn a warning into a filing or a silence.

Policy adviser / supervisor / researcher

Policy, Supervision & Academia

For readers whose output is a reform, an inspection framework or a thesis rather than a case. Runs the architecture and effectiveness material first, then samples the operational modules deeply enough to keep policy honest about what practitioners can do.
