AML Certification

Answered by: 

Question: 
I have recently received information from the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) regarding their program for AML certification. Do you know of this organization? Do you feel this will be a recognized certification for those of us in banking responsible for AML programs?
Answer: 

I have heard of this organization, and I believe they fill a need. This is affiliated with Charlie Intriago - publishing of the Money Laundering Alert, so they are not "newbies" in this area. They have longstanding expertise in the field.

Also on their Advisory Board is Richard Small, Director of Global Anti-Money Laundering, Citigroup, Inc.Citigroup’s top worldwide anti-money laundering officer. Previously, he served as the Federal Reserve Board’s top money laundering control official and for twelve years was a key member of the U.S. anti-money laundering regulatory regimen. He is a world expert on money laundering.

There is a thread on Bankers' Threads currently -- in the Security section -- dealing with this certification. You might want to monitor it for further feedback as some of the BOL users move through the certification process.
