CAFC Marks Second Anniversary with Launch of CAPFC™ Certification, Establishing a New Standard for AI Governance in Financial Crime
First-of-its-kind certification equips financial crime professionals to govern, oversee and validate AI systems as regulatory expectations accelerate worldwide
The Coalition Against Financial Crime (CAFC) today announced the launch of the Certified AI Practitioner in Financial Crime (CAPFC™), the industry’s first professional certification dedicated to AI governance within financial crime compliance programs. The launch coincides with CAFC’s second anniversary and marks a major milestone in the evolution of responsible AI oversight across the global financial services sector.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, fraud detection, investigations and suspicious activity reporting workflows, financial institutions face growing pressure to ensure these systems are governed responsibly, validated effectively and aligned with evolving regulatory expectations. CAPFC was created to address this critical gap by preparing professionals to oversee AI-enabled compliance systems with confidence, accountability and regulatory rigor.
