financial crime professionals to pass the rigorous Certified Financial Crime Specialists
certification examination. Martha J. Huey has now earned the right to use the prestigious
designation, CFCS, as a Certified Financial Crime Specialist.
The CFCS credential is earned by individuals who pass the rigorous four-hour examination that
provides a tough, objective measure of competency in diverse financial crime fields including
money laundering, global anti-corruption, tax evasion, compliance, investigations, cyber
security and more. The certification program is administered by the Association of Certified
Financial Crime Specialists (ACFCS), the premier membership organization of professionals in
the field worldwide. Professionals in more than 65 countries have already signed up to earn the
CFCS certification.

in diverse financial crime fields regardless of their professional specialization. The credential is
an assurance to employers, colleagues and clients that the CFCS-certified professional is serious
about risk reduction and protecting the reputation of their organization.
CFCS designation is powerful evidence of specialized expertise
“I was impressed by the breadth of the exam and how well-balanced it is. There is enough of all
areas of financial crime for a good balance, including international. It is not US-centric or based
just on money laundering,” said Juan Ducali CAMS, Senior Compliance Officer for United
Nations Federal Credit Union in New York
