Intensive 5 Days CACM Review Course and Exam

The Certified Anti-Corruption Manager (CACM) credential, offered by The American Anti-Corruption Institute (AACI), is the world’s first global anti-corruption certification program specifically designed for executive management and individuals charged with governance across all economic sectors. This certification equips decision-makers with the essential knowledge and skills to effectively prevent, deter, and detect fraud, corruption, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism. The CACM designation supports board members, executive management, and government officials in making informed and intelligent anti-corruption decisions. It distinguishes leaders who are capable of setting the right tone at the top. The AACI strongly advocates that at least one board member and one executive manager in every organization hold the CACM qualification.

Achieving the CACM certification requires dedication, discipline, and determination. The CACM exam is intentionally rigorous, designed to ensure the highest standards of competency. To support candidates, we offer an intensive five-day review course aimed at maximizing their success. This comprehensive program culminates in the CACM exam on the final day, significantly enhancing candidates’ likelihood of passing.

1. Set the appropriate tone at the top and lead by example to inspire ethical behavior and integrity.
2. Recognize the significance of being a Certified Anti-Corruption Manager (CACM) among your peers and demonstrate a strong commitment to preventing and deterring corruption.
