The CTMA certification establishes a new global standard for the knowledge and skills required for alert investigators, and helps organizations address financial crime risk by ensuring their personnel are properly trained and demonstrate their knowledge through a formal certification exam by the creators of CAMS.

For individuals, CTMA can help set them apart by certifying their knowledge of transaction monitoring processes. For institutions, certifying employees with CTMA represents a significant commitment to AML and financial crime compliance in a world of increasingly complex laws, regulations, and policies.
