ACAMS and IFE join forces to change the AML and financial crimes
prevention landscape in Turkey

ISTANBUL–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/aml?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#amllt;/agt;–The Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS)
will partner with the Istanbul Institute of Finance (IFE) to deliver its
flagship Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) Certification
in Turkey beginning in May 2019. The partnership will enable financial
crime prevention professionals in Turkey to create and drive a culture
of compliance, while advancing their professional knowledge, skills and
experience in the detection and prevention of money laundering and
financial crimes.

The CAMS Certification helps create a standardized risk-based approach
for money laundering threats and financial crimes risks, and will now be
available in Turkey, and is seeing a steady growth in its financial
markets.

“Economic growth has precipitated a strong demand for anti-money
laundering (AML) and financial crime prevention professionals in Turkey,
more so with the increased scrutiny on compliance globally,” said Angela
Salter, head of Europe for ACAMS.

“Under the terms of the partnership, IFE will conduct the training
sessions, and looks forward to engaging key government agencies
including MASAK (the Financial Crimes Investigation Board), the
regulatory body in Turkey that deals with AML and Terrorism
Financing,” said Cetin Altay, CEO of the IFE.

“Our mission at the IFE is to build a specialized human-capital talent
pool by delivering internationally recognized certifications such as
CAMS to address pressing global issues in AML and Financial Crimes
Prevention,” continued Altay. “A deterrent in the past was the medium of
delivery and the high cost of certification training programs, and this
is now being addressed through the partnership with ACAMS. This will
also bode well for Turkey’s goal of becoming a global financial hub.”

ACAMS is a part of Adtalem Global Education, a mission-driven provider
of education headquartered in the United States.
