Product description
CCAS — Certified Cryptoasset Anti-Financial Crime Specialist is a cutting-edge certification developed by ACAMS to address the growing intersection of cryptoassets and financial crime prevention. As digital assets continue to reshape global finance, the CCAS credential equips professionals with the specialized knowledge and tools needed to manage anti-financial crime (AFC) risks in the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.
This certification provides a comprehensive understanding of how cryptoassets function, how they can be misused for illicit purposes, and the regulatory frameworks governing them. Key topics include blockchain analysis, crypto transaction monitoring, decentralized finance (DeFi), AML/CFT controls specific to virtual assets, and global regulatory guidance from FATF and other bodies.
Designed for compliance officers, risk professionals, crypto exchange operators, regulators, and law enforcement, CCAS bridges the knowledge gap between traditional financial crime prevention and emerging digital asset threats. Candidates will gain practical insight into applying AML principles within crypto environments, conducting enhanced due diligence (EDD), and implementing effective compliance programs for virtual asset service providers (VASPs).
Earning the CCAS certification signals that a professional is prepared to lead AFC initiatives in digital finance and is committed to maintaining integrity and security in one of the most dynamic areas of global finance.
