Certification Description
A BAI Anti-Money Laundering Professional Certification is the educational standard for anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) professionals employed within financial institutions, or national and state regulatory agencies. Financial institutions recognize that anti-money laundering prevention and detection is a critical issue with the demands of the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act. Increased training along with stronger policies and procedures help institutions meet regulatory examination requirements and avoid potential criminal risks. This certification helps professionals document their AML expertise and demonstrate that they and their organization take anti-money laundering responsibilities seriously.
