What does KYC training on FinCrime Dojo cover?
The full customer due diligence lifecycle: customer identification and verification (CIV), standard CDD, enhanced due diligence (EDD), beneficial ownership mapping, PEP identification, adverse media review and customer risk rating — all through active case simulations, not passive e-learning.
Is the KYC training relevant for RBI KYC Master Direction and PMLA?
Yes. Indian scenarios reference the RBI KYC Master Direction 2016 (as updated), PMLA 2002 obligations and SEBI AML/KYC guidelines. The platform includes corporate KYC scenarios specific to Indian entity types including Pvt Ltd, LLP, trust and HUF structures, alongside CKYCRR obligations.
How does FinCrime Dojo cover EDD — enhanced due diligence?
EDD scenarios present high-risk customer profiles — PEPs, complex corporate structures, customers from high-risk jurisdictions — and require analysts to apply proportionate enhanced scrutiny, document their findings and make a defensible onboarding or referral decision with MLRO involvement.
What is the difference between CDD and EDD in the training?
CDD scenarios focus on standard onboarding — identity verification, address confirmation, source of funds assessment. EDD scenarios introduce elevated risk factors requiring deeper investigation, additional documentation and senior sign-off. The platform presents both and trains analysts to identify which applies.
Does the training cover PEP identification under Indian and international definitions?
Yes. The platform covers domestic PEPs (current and former), foreign PEPs, International Organisation PEPs and their close family and known associates — across RBI, FCA and FATF definitions. Scenarios specifically address borderline PEP cases where the classification is not straightforward.
