Laundering Training
The Association of Certified Anti-Money
Laundering Specialists® (ACAMS®) is a membership based
organization advances the professional knowledge, skills and
experience of those dedicated to the
detection and prevention of money laundering around the
world, and to promote the development and implementation of sound
anti-money laundering policies and procedures.
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.
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 an 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.
Just a few years
ago, many anti-money laundering positions didn’t even exist.
Where
they did, professionals often found themselves assigned AML
compliance duties after being given vague instructions.
In many
cases, they were forced to teach themselves the position as they
went along, learning from their mistakes through examiner visits
and critiques. Little training was available.
More importantly, there were no real standards for this specialty.
Lawyers must pass
the bar exam to practice.
Doctors must also
pass an exhaustive battery of tests to practice, and even more to
become board-certified.
While accountants
can work without certification, there is a big difference between
an accountant and a certified public accountant.
According to the
ACAMS Annual AML Compensation survey, respondents who had been
CAMS-certified attributed on average a 20% higher compensation
than respondents who were not CAMS-certified.
Similarly,
respondents who were not currently CAMS-certified projected a
compensation increase of 20% if they were to become
CAMS-certified.
