Upskill Across Every Line of Defense
The ACAMS AFC Academy includes a framework of learning paths, mapped against specific roles across the three lines of defense. Learning paths are suitable for all experience levels and cover a broad range of topics, including:
- Fraud
- Know your customer
- Transaction monitoring
- Investigations
- Risk assessment
- Sanctions compliance
- AML Advisory
- Anti-bribery and corruption
- Crypto AFC compliance
- Internal audit
Learning paths are built from four components: certifications, certificate training courses, webinars, and premium resources. Together, these components give learners the right skills to perform their roles effectively while enabling them to understand broader context and industry best practices.
Recruit and Retain a High Performing AFC Team
The cost of building a skilled anti-financial crime (AFC) workforce is high, with organizations competing to recruit from a small talent pool. You need to upskill new employees and develop your current team, all while operating in a continually shifting regulatory environment.
As the global leader in anti-financial crime education, ACAMS has long been called upon to deliver training to some of the world’s largest regulated organizations. Our AFC Academy enables organizations to create scalable and sustainable company-wide training programs. Suitable for banks and non-banking financial institutions of all sizes, the AFC Academy will help you build an effective AFC team that can keep up with the pace of change.
Choose a Flexible Training Framework
We offer two models of the AFC Academy – Build and Enhance. Both models are flexible, with the option to add additional learning paths to meet your requirements as your organization grows and adapts.
Build an AFC training program
ACAMS can help you build an organization-wide AFC bank or non-bank training program from the ground up, by:
