Description
Certified Anti-Money Laundering Professional (CAML) Handbook
The Certified Anti-Money Laundering Professional (CAML) Handbook is a comprehensive reference guide developed by the Global Association of Forensic Accountants (GAFA) to help professionals understand, identify, investigate, and mitigate money laundering and financial crime risks.
Designed with a practical approach, the handbook bridges the gap between regulatory knowledge and real-world application. It covers global AML standards, risk-based compliance frameworks, customer due diligence (CDD), enhanced due diligence (EDD), transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, suspicious transaction reporting (STR/SAR), trade-based money laundering (TBML), cryptocurrency and virtual asset risks, and emerging AI applications in AML investigations.
Unlike conventional study material, the CAML Handbook emphasizes investigative thinking through practical case studies, red-flag indicators, workflow illustrations, and real-life financial crime scenarios. It equips readers with the knowledge required to understand evolving laundering techniques and strengthen organizational AML controls.
Whether you are preparing for the CAML certification or looking for a reliable AML reference, this handbook serves as a valuable resource for continuous learning and professional development.
