The Financial Crime Compliance Specialist (FCCS) certification is designed for professionals who operate, oversee, or evaluate financial crime compliance programs. The redesigned FCCS takes a comprehensive, lifecycle-based approach to financial crime compliance, examining how organizations identify, assess, manage, monitor, escalate, and report financial crime risk. Rather than focusing on investigating suspected offences, the certification emphasizes the design and operation of proportionate, risk-based controls and the ability to make documented and defensible compliance decisions.
The FCCS also extends beyond individual compliance controls to examine governance and program effectiveness. Learners explore the Three Lines of Defence, board and senior management accountability, compliance culture, policies and procedures, training and competency, management information, compliance monitoring, quality assurance, and independent effectiveness reviews.
The FCCS is particularly valuable for compliance professionals, AML specialists, risk professionals, managers, and others who are responsible for translating regulatory obligations into practical controls, challenging financial crime risk decisions, advising senior management, or assessing whether an organization's financial crime compliance framework is operating effectively.
The FCCS self-study package includes access to our Online Learning Platform and 2 attempts of the exam
