Commit Yourself to Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
ACAMS has partnered with the Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking Initiative (FAST) at the UN University Center for Policy Research (UNU-CPR) to update its modern slavery and human trafficking awareness certificate; first offered in 2020.
Developed by FAST with insights from industry leaders, survivors, and recent case studies, our free online modern slavery and human trafficking training course aims to raise awareness of the financial footprints left by these crimes, and provides a framework to help your organization identify, mitigate and prevent these risks and exploitative practices.
Understand the Expectations and Requirements on the Financial Sector
Generating over US$150 billion each year, modern slavery and human trafficking represent the third largest source of criminal profits globally. Much of that profit moves through the global financial system. As a result, there are growing expectations and requirements on the financial sector to identify, report, mitigate, and remedy modern slavery and human trafficking risks. The ACAMS Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking training course provides an introduction to the steps that financial sector actors should take to meet these expectations.
