Overview

On this accelerated Certified Cryptoasset AFC Specialist (CCAS) certification, you will gain the knowledge necessary to manage the risk of, and comply with regulations related to, financial crime in the context of the crypto sector.

CCAS has been developed in conjunction with representatives from the cryptoasset sector, AML/CTF professionals, and other subject matter experts from a regulatory and law enforcement background. CCAS fills a gap in the market for a cryptocurrency AML certification – for both individual AML professionals and entire cryptoasset compliance functions.

This cryptocurrency compliance certification program enables organizations to contextualize the threat cryptoassets pose, establish an effective risk appetite, and demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

ACAMS certifications are internationally renowned and recognized. Those who earn the CCAS designation will be distinguished as authorities on AML/CFT in the crypto space.

At the end of this course you will be able to identify and mitigate common methods of financial crime linked to cryptoassets, and will be optimally prepared to progress onto our specialist CCAS certification

In just 7 days, you’ll learn how financial criminals utilize cryptoassets to launder money, and what are the key red flags you should look out for? You’ll also learn:

  • To protect your business from the risks of cryptoassets, you need a robust understanding of financial crime prevention principles and the practices surrounding them
