Financial Institutions in Finland Turn to Compliance Training as Anti-Money Laundering Concerns Rise

In an effort to strengthen their defenses against financial crime, Finnish financial institutions are increasingly turning to compliance training programs that equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to prevent money laundering.

Benefits of the Program

By participating in the CAMS program, financial institutions can demonstrate their commitment to a standardized risk-based approach to preventing money laundering. The program helps drive a culture of compliance from the top-down and is recognized internationally by financial institutions, governments, and regulators as a serious commitment to protecting the financial system against money laundering.

Eligibility and Requirements

To join the ACAMS Preparation Course, participants must demonstrate at least 40 ACAMS credits. They can check their credits through the ACAMS website or contact Aalto EE for evaluation assistance. If they don’t have enough credits, they can take free online courses on the ACAMS website to earn more.

Enrollment and Application Process

To enroll in the preparation course, participants need to sign up on the Aalto EE website by September 10th at the latest. After enrollment, they will receive instructions on how to apply for ACAMS certification and access the study materials. Once their application is approved, they can schedule their exam.

Exam Scheduling and Testing Centers

The CAMS Exam is only available at Pearson VUE testing centers, which have a global network of over 5,000 locations. Participants can find a testing center near them on the Pearson VUE website. There is also a limited possibility to take the exam online, but more information is included in the info package from ACAMS after approval.

Program Fee and Registration

The program fee for the CAMS preparation course includes one year of ACAMS membership and access to study materials. Participants can enroll on the Aalto EE website by September 10th at the latest to secure their spot in the program.
