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.
THE CFCS ADVANTAGE
CFCS is an elite standard for financial crime compliance professionals that is internationally recognized.
By taking a comprehensive approach, the certification allows banking and corporate compliance officers, law enforcement investigators, regulators, auditors and others to skillfully detect and prevent the broad array of risks that is the new reality of financial crime.
