Money Laundering Specialists (CAMS)

Requirements: The Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) requires Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (CAMS) to complete 60 CAMS credits in the areas of AML/CTF/financial crime prevention every three years. Consult the CAMS Recertification Handbook for more information on your requirements.

New! “As of July 1, 2022, the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) no longer accredits third-party external events for recertification credits. Additionally, the recertification credits will no longer be referred to as "CAMS credits" and will instead be referred to as "non-ACAMS credits." ACAMS recognizes only two types of credits for recertification purposes: ACAMS credits and non-ACAMS credits.

Non-ACAMS Credits: These are earned from any source other than ACAMS. These are not added automatically to members' profiles. Instead, members are responsible for providing their proof of participation to ACAMS. The criteria for an external activity to count for non-ACAMS credits is outlined below:

  • Be related to the subject matter; AFC – AML/CTF, Sanctions, etc.
  • Meet a minimum of one hour of continuous learning.
  • Provide proof of participation after completion.
  • All documentation submitted to ACAMS needs to clearly state the participant's name, the training's title, date, and the number of credits.
  • Be completed before the end of the recertification cycle.
  • The activity must be synchronous. No asynchronous activities will be accepted.

See ACAM’s External Event Accreditation guide for additional information.

Completing Your Recertification Requirements with PLI: Select PLI live seminars and live webcasts may qualify for non-ACAMS credits. To request non-ACAMS recertification credit for future eligible live programs, please e-mail plicredits@pli.edu.

Attendance Reporting: Attendees must submit their own recertification application to ACAMS. Applicants do not need to include supporting documentation along with the recertification application; however, they are advised to retain original copies of their supporting documents in their files in the event that ACAMS should find it necessary to audit their records. Please see non-ACAMS Credits Policies and eligibility criteria for instructions for providing proof of participation to ACAMS. It will be up to ACAMS certified members to determine if the course qualifies for the non-ACAMS recertification credit requirement. Non-ACAMS credits are not added automatically to members' profiles. Instead, members are responsible for providing their proof of participation to ACAMS. See ACAM’s External Event Accreditation guide for additional information.
