Lasted update: March 15, 2021

In May 2018, The AACI launched the Initiative of The American Anti-Corruption Institute (AACI) for universities in the Middle East and Africa: Professional Qualification for Students to Prevent Corruption. Supporting and enhancing the initiative, The AACI fine-tuned and customized the initiative to accommodate college and university students worldwide. As a result and starting in January 2020, The AACI offers Certified Anti-Corruption Fellow (CACF) to students of participating universities worldwide. 

The CACF distinguishes students who are qualified to prevent, deter, and detect corruption. It is the only global certification process that enables students to engage in fighting corruption effectively, efficiently, and patriotically. The CACF certification process capitalizes on the United Nations Convention Against Corruption and focuses mainly on the prevention of corruption.

The CACF is an anti-corruption certification that aims to help participating colleges and universities support their students to engage intelligently in the fight against corruption. Students shall attend an Intensive 2 Online Live Sessions CACF Review Course and Exam

The CACF exam is proctored and designed to test online the anti-corruption intelligence (ACI) of CACF candidates. ACI means “the minimum optimum knowledge a university student should have to avoid fraud and corruption intelligently.” Such knowledge includes the proper blend of internal control, anti-fraud, governance, decision making, and relevant international legal perspectives. The CACF emphasizes the concept of deterrence and prevention.
