Who We Are:
ACAMS is the largest international membership organization dedicated to providing opportunities for anti-financial crime (AFC) education, best practices, and peer-to-peer networking to AFC professionals globally. With over 115,000 members across 180 jurisdictions, ACAMS is committed to fighting and finding ways to help prevent financial crime through the provision of anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism financing and sanctions knowledge-sharing, thought leadership, risk-mitigation services, ESG initiatives, and platforms for public-private dialogue.
The association's CAMS certification is the gold-standard qualification for AFC professionals, while the CGSS certification is its premier specialist qualification for sanctions professionals. ACAMS has recently expanded its certification portfolio to include the Certified Anti-Fraud Specialist (CAFS), designed to equip professionals with the tools to detect, investigate, and prevent financial fraud.
