ACFCS OVERVIEW: End-to-End Compliance Options The objective of this overview is to introduce ACFCS, and the value proposition we deliver. We hope that you explore the diverse range of products delivering a comprehensive risk strategy. Based on decades of experience in this field, I have found ACFCS to be the most relevant association today,providing thought leadership in end-to-end compliance.

The need for detection and prevention convergence has never been greater. Recognizing that financial crime issues do not exist in isolation demands a move to a centralized, coordinated and integrated approach.

BENEFITS OF A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO FINANCIAL CRIME DETECTION AND PREVENTION:

• Capitalize on the commonalities of financial crime• Develop a cohesive, more effective global strategy• Leverage shared tools, techniques and expertise• Streamline procedures• Improve results and cut costs

In these days of greater threats and greater regulatory scrutiny, banks are required to take steps to ensure they have a holistic view of risk in any of its forms — not just money laundering. This clearly mandates compliance to consider cross-channel exposure, from fraud, to cybercrime, to money laundering, in order to avoid either dollar loss or reputational loss, or sometimes both.

About ACFCSACFCS is a leading provider of practical tools and knowledge to help professionals improve results in financial crime detection and prevention.

Through our membership, live and online training, and the Certified Financial Crime Specialist (CFCS) credential, our goal is to deliver resources that enable better performance in financial crime compliance, investigations, regulation and enforcement.

Our ApproachOver the last three decades, the financial crime risk landscape has expanded dramatically for private and public sector organizations. So, to have regulatory expectations and public and media attention on financial crime issues.

The siloed approach of the past is gradually giving way to a wider view that treats financial crime risks like money laundering, fraud and corruption as parts of an interconnected whole.

FINANCIAL CRIME ESSENTIALS (1 HOUR)

We recognize that organizations cannot justify the expense of putting all staff through the certification program. Notwithstanding this, we realize that it is important to have staff at all levels understand financial crime, thereby ensuring they contribute value to the enterprise risk solution. This online course provides an introduction to the 12 key areas that comprise the financial crime landscape:

Organizations are facing an increasing array of global financial threats, such as criminals attempting to move illicit proceeds, corrupt public officials seeking to obtain or conceal bribes, or cyber criminals targeting funds and data. These threats have often been viewed in isolation from the perspectives of money laundering, corruption, fraud or other fields. Forward-looking companies treat these threats as interconnected risks under the wider umbrella of financial crime. This course covers the common methods and vulnerabilities exploited by financial criminals that span all areas, commonalities in detecting and preventing financial crime, and trends in the field that point to the need for a converged approach.

FINANCIAL ABUSE OF OLDER ADULTS: RECOGNIZE, REVIEW AND RESPOND

Many financial institutions are eager to train their staff to respond appropriately to the growing threat of elder financial abuse. Employees often care deeply about the people they serve, and when they see a client subjected to financial abuse they want to help. Everyone knows this is a problem, but few understand what to do about it. This 35-minute course increases awareness and explores

many of the options that are available.

FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES (FCPA) ESSENTIALS 3.5 HRS

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is one of the most important anti-bribery and corruption laws for any organization operating globally, and its provisions act as a de facto international standard for effective anti-corruption compliance programs. With intensive FCPA enforcement by the U.S. Department of Justice and SEC, and increasing scrutiny on corruption by many other countries, sound anti-corruption programs are a requirement for doing business internationally. Get detailed guidance on the FCPA and best practices needed to safeguard your organization from corruption risk in this interactive, 3.5-hour online training from ACFCS. By completing this training, you will be better equipped to comply with the FCPA and support anti-bribery and corruption

compliance organization wide.

This online program provides an overview of this important legislation, covering key FATCA elements, compliance best practices and considerations, FATCA terminology, forms and implementation timelines. The course is designed as a broad-based introduction to FATCA compliance rather than a deep dive, and is appropriate for front-line staff or anyone interested in gaining a better

understanding of this important financial crime law.
