Southern California Chapter

    Overview

    The SoCal Chapter was formed to provide the anti-financial crime (AFC) community with a professional resource that can provide support, guidance, training, and peer interaction across industry lines in both the public and private sectors. Our goal is to raise awareness and further educate and identify the issues that are specific to our region. 

     

    In addition to the ACAMS chapter webpage, you can also find us on LinkedIn. Feel free to send any questions, comments, or suggestions to SoCalACAMS@gmail.com.

     

    To join as a chapter member, you must have an active ACAMS membership.
