Executive Committee has been pleased to have endorsed the following groups that provide training and internationally accredited designations in the field of compliance and anti-money laundering practice: -
- ACAMS Certification Program
ACAMS provides an excellent platform for career development leading to certification (the "Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist - CAMS"). Additionally, ACAMS strives to "advance the professional knowledge, skills and experience of those dedicated to the detection and prevention of international money laundering, and promotes the development and implementation of sound anti-money laundering policies and procedures".
- ICA Courses and International Diplomas
ICA provides from Bermuda “self-study” courses (with periodic face-to-face workshops) and qualifications in the field of compliance and anti-money laundering practice. Completion of the International Diplomas leads to professional membership of ICA (MICA) and after five years relevant working experience to Fellowship (FICA). ICA also offers a certificate programme that is ideal for those who are not necessarily in the field of anti-money laundering practice yet desires an understanding of the threat of money laundering.
