Certified Anti-Money Laundering Professional (CAMP) is the program offered by the Regtechtimes Academy which is an education initiative of Regtechtimes. Now, this training program is becoming critical for Investigative Journalists in their fight against financial crime. Moreover, as the journalist initiative, Regtechtimes understands the need for training for investigative journalists.

Money Laundering and Investigative Journalists

The United States passed anti-money laundering laws during the 1930s to prohibit organized crimes. But criminal activity received a major boost from these prohibition laws. And the legitimate financial system saw the proceeds of illegal sales of alcohol flowing into bank accounts. However, the outreach increased with the various leaks carried out by groups of journalists across the world.

Globally we see many journalist initiatives that have helped in different leaks. These include Panama Papers, Paradise Papers, Swiss Leaks, and even Bahama Leaks. One of the latest leaks was the Fincen Files. Suspicious Activity Reports were the focus of this leak.

This highlighted the importance of suspicious activity reports in the process of AML Compliance. The Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) provided a wealth of information to the investigative journalists. Hence, Writing the SAR is one of the topics of this program.

Panama Papers leaks were all about the shell companies and tax evasion. Dirty money is flying all across the world through bank accounts. To prevent money laundering, the financial action task force requires banks to train their staff.

The CAMP program was initially started to train the bankers on understanding the financial transactions in any illegal activity. However, as the program evolved it was offered to law enforcement officers and investigative journalists.

CAMP for Investigative Journalists?

CAMP aims to empower the community of investigative journalists. We also offer scholarships, discounts, and even free access to the course for deserving investigative journalists. Regtechtimes is a journalistic initiative in itself. However, it is necessary to provide evidence of your investigative work for admission.

The Certified Anti-Money Laundering Professional course revolves around anti-money laundering (AML) concepts and technical investigation guidance. Money Laundering is the process of changing the color of money. However, money laundering techniques are complex.

Investigative journalists walk through the trending issues during this program. From Shell Companies to Crypto Currencies, investigative journalists go through a wide variety of videos. The case study section elaborates on the trending events in the AML world.

It comments on every aspect of the AML universe from cash transactions to drug trafficking. Additionally, the trade-based money laundering section elaborates on the concepts of trade. This program also provides a discussion around the technology used in the AML domain. Every person attending the course writes the uniform final examination. On successful completion of the exam, he gets the certification.

Investigative journalism will not exist without sources and the right resources. CAMP Program provides the right resources for those who aspire to become investigative journalists.
