Faculty of RegTech, Risk & Financial Crime

Compliance built as engineering, not paperwork.

Regulated firms now run compliance through systems. This faculty covers customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, fraud typologies, regulatory reporting and digital record keeping, then advances into control testing, model risk management and audit-ready evidence. Students learn to design, document and defend controls rather than simply describe regulations.
