About the Course
Blockchain compliance and cryptocurrency are developing rapidly, and the rise of Crypto‑Asset Service Providers (CASPs) is reshaping compliance and oversight. Many compliance, audit, and legal teams struggle to keep pace. This seminar closes that gap, building professional literacy in blockchain risks, regulatory obligations, and practical forensic tools, enabling you to trace crypto transactions, meet CASP standards, and protect your organisation from fraud, mismanagement, and legal risk.
This 18‑hour live online seminar gives you practical skills to investigate blockchain and crypto transactions, strengthen compliance, and manage risk.
Learn to use professional blockchain analytics tools to trace funds, uncover suspicious activity, and link wallets across multiple networks.
You’ll start by mastering blockchain fundamentals before progressing to asset tracing, risk analysis, and strategies to spot suspicious transactions.
A highlight of this program is hands‑on access to advanced blockchain analytics platforms, allowing you to:
- Map and monitor cryptocurrency movements across networks
- Analyse transaction flows for irregularities
- Identify and link associated wallets
- Detect patterns tied to potential illicit activity
- Apply investigative, monitoring, and risk assessment frameworks in practice
As an added benefit, each participant receives extended access (1–6 months) to Crystal Intelligence, one of the world’s leading blockchain investigation platforms, to continue practising after the course.
By course end, you will have the technology know‑how, analytical capability, and investigative confidence to counter emerging threats, strengthen oversight, and protect your organisation in a decentralised economy.
