Syllabus

Foundations of Name Screening and Property Reporting
- This module builds a strong foundation in name screening and property reporting obligations under Canadian regulations. You will explore the purpose of name screening, its legal basis under the PCMLTFA, and when it must be conducted. The module also introduces property reporting requirements and explains what constitutes terrorist or sanctioned property, including property owned or controlled by listed persons under United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) and domestic designations.
Screening Processes, PEPs, and Match Evaluation
- This module focuses on applying name screening in practice. You will learn how to identify and manage Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and Heads of International Organizations (HIOs) as defined under the PCMLTFA, conduct screening at key stages, and evaluate match results. The module explains how to distinguish between false positives, potential matches, and true matches, and outlines the appropriate actions for each outcome, including mandatory reporting and escalation under FINTRAC guidelines.
Final Assessment and Course Wrap-Up
- This final module consolidates your understanding of name screening and property reporting obligations under Canadian law. You will revisit key concepts across both modules and complete the final assessment, which evaluates your ability to identify risks, interpret screening results, classify PEPs and HIOs, and respond appropriately to regulatory requirements under the PCMLTFA and FINTRAC guidelines.
