Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS)

Course Overview

Due to the increasing complexity of the law, the demand for AML/CFT professionals is increasing daily. Since the spread of COVID-19, the nature of financial transactions has changed fundamentally. Face-to-face transactions and user convenience have improved, as have virtual money laundering, online fraud, and obfuscation of genuine beneficiaries. Additionally, businesses will have to adopt entirely new types of technology, such as e-KYC, machine learning, and automated risk assessment. In the fields of combating money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism, innovations are rapidly being developed to increase efficiency. At the same time, the organisation needs more money laundering experts to understand these challenges. Therefore, the demand for anti-money laundering professionals will continue to grow.

This 5-day interactive Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist training course educates the participants on the risks and methods associated with money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as compliance standards and sanctions compliance programs. Combat, enforce and support donations—investigation procedure. Once certified, individuals with CAMS certifications pursue careers in the public and private sectors.
