Certified Anti-Corruption Manager (CACM)

The CACM management certification credential of The American Anti-Corruption Institute (AACI) is the first global anti-corruption certification program designed for and targets executive management and those charged with governance of all economic sectors. It provides decision makers with the proper and adequate knowledge and skills to enable them to prevent, deter, and detect fraud and corruption, money laundering and financing terrorism. The CACM supports the board members, executive management, and government officials in making intelligent anti-corruption decisions. The CACM designation sets apart decision makers who can set the right tone at the top. The AACI believes that at least one member of the board and one executive manager should be qualified as a CACM.
Passing the CACM exam requires dedication, discipline, and determination. Passing the CACM exam is challenging. Therefore, we conduct this intensive five days review course to help CACM candidates PASS the CACM exam on the last day of the program. Attending this course maximizes your chances to PASS it.
