 The Anti-Money Laundering Association for the
Career-Minded Professional
|
|
|
The Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists® (ACAMS®)
is a membership based organization that serves as a platform for career
development and professional networking for individuals in a wide range of
industries, including the rapidly expanding anti-money laundering (AML) field.
The organization provides resources for financial institutions and related
businesses that help train, identify and locate practitioners who specialize in
money laundering control policies, procedures & regulations.
The mission of ACAMS is to provide a forum for career advancement, and to help
develop the skills that AML practitioners require to optimize daily functions,
improve job performance and expand employment opportunities. ACAMS offers
professionals the tools to gain expertise in the areas of detection and
prevention of money laundering worldwide, and arms them with the information to
promote the development and implementation of sound anti-money laundering
strategies and practices.
ACAMS grew from an expanding need to identify professionals with clearly
defined expertise in the field of money laundering detection, prevention and
control. The organization develops anti-money laundering programs and certifies
specialists in financial and non-financial businesses and government agencies.
ACAMS aims to help financial institutions remain in compliance by providing
information on money laundering laws and regulations of the United States and
other countries, including the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act.
The association seeks to help compliance officers, anti-money laundering
specialists, in-service and retired government regulators and enforcement
agents perform their duties well by providing up-to-date information,
education, career development and professional networking opportunities.
ACAMS also offers the Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS)
designation. Candidates earn the CAMS credential by successfully completing a
rigorous examination designed by industry leaders and an independent testing
firm. The examination provides an objective measure of a professional’s
knowledge of industry best practices, anti-money laundering standards and other
areas that are crucial in the field. The CAMS credential is increasingly
becoming the gold standard in the industry. By providing the CAMS designation
ACAMS enables financial institutions, trades, businesses and government
agencies identify experts in the field from which they may recruit personnel
who meet certified standards. The organization’s goal is to support the efforts
of ACAMS members as they evolve as professionals and expand their employment
prospects.
