The course filled several gaps in my understanding of financial crimes and is a great resource for those looking for an introduction to a variety of financial crime topics. The course is well structured, easy to follow, and offers numerous pertinent examples shedding light on financial crimes in Canada and across the globe. The fact these examples cover several decades, illustrates that financial crimes have, and always will be, an issue that law enforcement and financial sectors grapple with.

I found the course to be very informative. I was impressed with both the quality and quantity of the information, and I learned quite a bit about aspects of financial crime, money laundering, and how it all interacts with technology. My favourite parts of the courses were the times when we got to see news reports and clips from documentaries, as I felt that these segments really helped me to put what we were learning in the context of the real world. The content was so interesting I was actually disappointed when it was over! I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in financial crime.
