Certified Anti Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) is a globally recognised designation associated with anti-money laundering knowledge, financial crime prevention, compliance practices, and regulatory standards used across the financial services industry.

You will learn anti-money laundering regulations, customer due diligence, suspicious activity reporting, transaction monitoring, sanctions compliance, financial crime investigations, and AML risk management practices.

Anti-money laundering refers to laws, regulations, procedures, and controls designed to prevent criminals from disguising illegally obtained funds as legitimate income.

AML measures help protect financial institutions, prevent criminal activity, support regulatory compliance, reduce financial risks, and maintain trust in financial systems.

Customer Due Diligence is the process of verifying customer identities, understanding customer activities, assessing risk levels, and maintaining appropriate monitoring procedures.

Enhanced Due Diligence involves additional scrutiny and monitoring for customers or transactions that present higher money laundering or financial crime risks.

Transaction monitoring is the ongoing review of customer transactions to identify unusual, suspicious, or potentially unlawful activity that may require further investigation.

A Suspicious Activity Report is a formal report submitted to relevant authorities when a financial institution or organisation identifies activity that may indicate money laundering or other financial crimes.

Money laundering typologies are common methods, techniques, and patterns used by criminals to conceal the origin of illegally obtained funds.

Important skills include analytical thinking, attention to detail, regulatory awareness, risk assessment, investigation techniques, communication, and problem-solving abilities.
