PR Log - Apr 22, 2013 - The Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists, the global member organization that awards the Certified Financial Crime Specialist (CFCS) certification to qualified candidates, as well as training, news, analysis and community to professionals in the financial crime field today announced the appointment of a leading expert in global anti-corruption and technology to its Advisory Board.
Dickenson, Vice President of D&B, in New York, will join the 25-members on April 24. ACFCS will fill out the full membership of the Advisory Board with the appointment of other distinguished experts by the end of April.
On April 5, ACFCS announced it had completed the construction of the CFCS certification, which is now in beta testing. The new credential will be available worldwide in the first days of May. CFCS is the first certification for private and public sector specialists in the financial crime field. A comprehensive examination, which covers knowledge and skills in anti-money laundering, tax evasion-FATCA, global anticorruption, and other subjects, must be taken by qualified candidates to earn the credential.
Even while the examination was in construction over a six-month period, specialists from 36 countries registered to earn the new designation.
ACFCS was founded in January 2012 by Charles A. Intriago, a former federal prosecutor who helped found the anti-money laundering industry with his launch in 1989 of the publication, Money Laundering Alert, and in 2001 of the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS), with which he is no longer affiliated.
The ACFCS Advisory Board presently has 17 members representing the full spectrum of financial crime disciplines.
Dickenson brings diverse experience, global perspective
Dickenson is a senior executive at one of the world's best-known companies, D&B, whose origins go back nearly 170 years. He brings a deep knowledge of the application of technology in the combat of financial crime and a unique insight and expertise in anti-corruption, FCPA and UK Bribery Act compliance. D&B is among the world's leading compliance solutions providers.
ACFCS embraces many disciplines, Advisory Board members do likewise
"Just as ACFCS embraces the entire financial crime spectrum, including anti-money laundering which is a component of every financial crime, our Advisory Board embraces many disciplines, geographies and organizations that populate the entire financial crime field," said Intriago.
"ACFCS is growing rapidly worldwide across industries and disciplines. We’re delighted to be able to count on Kelvin Dickenson to help guide ACFCS. The guidance will help provide first-class training to our members and the global financial crime community," he added.
ACFCS brings new approach to global assault on financial crime
"Financial crime touches every industry and does not respect national borders. Across the board, it is characterized by certain commonalities, including money laundering, tax evasion and the waiting or unwitting involvement of financial institutions, among other things.” added Intriago.
"That’s why ACFCS is bringing a new approach to attacking financial crime to all continents and welcomes members from all countries.”
