Robert Dias has joined the Institute of Money Laundering Prevention Officers (IMLPO)

Robert recently spoke at IGCE in Dublin and is speaking at both the ATE Combating Cybercrime conference on January 23 at Earls Court and the Bullet Business Legal Summit which is on January 22 and 23.

Robert Dias gained the elite 'CAMS' Anti-Money Laundering Credential which allows him to place the letters 'CAMS' after his name.

Robert was awarded the highly prized 'CAMS' credential by the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS), the world's leading organization of professionals in the anti-money laundering (AML) field.

The CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) designation is only awarded to professionals who successfully complete a rigorous, proctored examination focused on money laundering/terrorist financing methods, the best practices to stop these crimes, the key legislation in place worldwide, global AML standards and developing defenses for financial institutions to stop terrorist financing and money laundering.

Only approximately 1,600 people in the world have been able to successfully pass the CAMS examination, which is prepared by an independent testing company in collaboration with anti-money laundering experts around the world.

"Earning the CAMS credential is a significant achievement for professionals in the AML field because it will provide their employers and their business partners around the world with the assurance that they are working with someone with proven capabilities in this challenging field," said Geoffrey Chunowitz, Executive Director of ACAMS.

Founded in 2002, ACAMS now has 3,000 members in 102 countries. Its primary focus is the standardization of the AML profession, and it is doing this through cutting-edge training programs and publications aimed at broadening members' expertise and keeping them apprised of the latest developments in this dynamic field. ACAMS also serves as a worldwide forum where members from around the globe exchange news, information about the latest money laundering/terrorist financing schemes and the best practices to stop them.
