The Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Institute

What Is CAMLI?

CAMLI is an education and resource forum for anti-money laundering compliance professionals to further develop and be recognized for their knowledge and skills in the control of risks from money laundering and terrorist financing activity.

CAMLI was created to fill a need for a Canadian-focused AML/TF compliance organization designed to recognize the on-going education, development, and leadership needs of individuals tasked with the control of money laundering and terrorist financing activities and risks facing Canada's private and public sectors.

Membership is open to both Canadian-based and international compliance professionals actively involved in the control of money laundering and/or terrorist financing activity (AML/TF). The prime focus when it comes to legislative content and regulated practices is on Canadian content; however, many of the compliance skills, methodologies, and resources available through the various activities of the Institute have universal applicability.

Mission

The mission of the Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Institute is to provide a broad-based educational forum for anti-money laundering compliance professionals in Canada to further develop and be recognized for their knowledge and skills in the control of risks from money laundering and terrorist financing activity.

Objectives

• CAMLI is educationally focused, using a variety of venues for the distribution and sharing of information intended to enhance the knowledge, skills, and marketability of AML/CTF compliance professionals.
• CAMLI will develop and offer a series of AML/CTF compliance designations that will recognize specific standards of compliance training, skills, and experience. These designations must be maintained through a system of credits assigned for AML/CTF training and educational opportunities taken during a designated span of time.
• Membership in CAMLI will enable individuals to receive discounts on the costs of designated services and products related to AML/CTF compliance management, training, and education.
• CAMLI services, products, and resources will be marketed and, where applicable, hosted specifically for all members through its own designated website, www.camli.org. The website will become the primary means of communication for all CAMLI members in good standing.
• CAMLI intends to become an employment resource for individuals and/or organizations to post personal resumes and career opportunities within the AML/CTF compliance field.
