Internationally recognized accreditation for AML compliance practitioners working worldwide since 2016.

About the Certification

Introduced in 2016, one year after the founding of the Association of Certified Compliance Professionals and Associates (ACCPA), the ACCPA Certification has become a world-class and internationally recognized accreditation for AML compliance practitioners working worldwide.

Designed specifically for professionals operating within global regulatory and risk environments, the ACCPA Certification sets itself apart from other international AML programs. While many global accreditations focus primarily on generalized risk trends, the ACCPA Certification is uniquely structured to address international and regional AML risk typologies.
