We’ve just released a new free course on Udemy called CDD Basic Risk Factors (KYB Edition). This course is built for people working in AML, compliance, onboarding, or risk who want to better understand Customer Due Diligence for corporate clients — not in theory, but as it is applied in real institutions.
Content of this CDD KYB Basic Risk Factors course
The course focuses on the key CDD risk factors used when assessing companies. It explains entity risk, such as legal form, ownership structures, UBOs, and the use of nominees. It also covers industry risk, showing why sectors like cash-based businesses, crypto, MSBs, or real estate require more attention. You will learn how products and services, geography, and delivery channels can raise or lower a client’s overall risk profile.
Later lessons look at third-party risk and explain why responsibility never transfers, even when due diligence is outsourced. The course also covers common red flags, including adverse media, PEP exposure, shell companies, bearer shares, and changes in client behavior over time. Each topic is explained in simple language, with examples and short case scenarios.
What you will not find our Customer Due Diligence Basic Risk Factors course
This course is not a legal or regulatory deep dive. It does not quote laws or regulations line by line, and it is not designed for individual customer KYC. The focus is on KYB and corporate clients. It is also not a checklist-style training. Instead of teaching you what boxes to tick, it teaches you how to think about risk and spot inconsistencies early.
We made this course free because many CDD failures happen when risk factors are misunderstood, underestimated, or reviewed in isolation. A strong foundation helps prevent that.
The course is 100% free on Udemy.
If you want a clear and practical introduction to CDD risk factors, this is a good place to start.
Try the course and see if it fits your needs.
