CFCS CERTIFICATION

A Full Spectrum of Protection


BECOME A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL CRIME SPECIALIST TODAY

Financial crime professionals are facing a wider and more complex landscape of
risks and threats than ever before. Whether it’s cyber fraud, human trafficking,
or tax evasion, the Certified Financial Crime Specialist (CFCS) credential is
the only certification that arms certified crime professionals with the diverse
skills and broad-based knowledge across the financial crime spectrum.

BENEFITS OF BEING CFCS CERTIFIED

At the heart of the strongest financial crime compliance programs are
professionals with years of experience, but some institutions don’t have the
budgets, resources or expertise at hand to appease regulators or properly
identify financial crime risks in their institution.

The CFCS certification combats this and provides many benefits including:

 * Enabling institutions to cross-train compliance teams across the spectrum of
   financial crime
   
   
 * Improving communication, coordination, and cooperation among different
   financial crime teams.
   
   
 * Improving efficiency, effectiveness, and results.
   
   
 * Enabling individuals to rise in their careers and arm themselves with
   knowledge in over 12 financial crime topics.
   
   
 * Bridging the gap between financial crime risks operations face, budgets need
   to mitigate those risks and what regulators consider a strong compliance
   program, a true ally of law enforcement.
