International AML/CFT standards
Connect FATF recommendations, Basel guidance, Wolfsberg principles, sanctions expectations and country or sector risk to a defensible risk-based compliance decision.
AML compliance program
Design governance, enterprise risk assessment, policies, training, independent testing, management information, escalation and a culture that supports effective financial-crime controls.
KYC, CDD and enhanced due diligence
Verify customers and beneficial owners, understand purpose and expected activity, identify PEP and sanctions exposure, assign risk and apply ongoing or enhanced due diligence.
Transaction monitoring and suspicious activity
Turn risk into monitoring coverage, triage alerts, investigate unusual activity, document decisions, escalate cases and support timely suspicious-activity reporting without tipping off.
Investigations and cooperation
Preserve evidence, organize case narratives, respond to law-enforcement requests, manage information sharing and coordinate internal stakeholders while respecting confidentiality and legal boundaries.
Role-based practical scenarios
Work through cases for AML, KYC, transaction monitoring, compliance, financial crime, BSA/AML, fraud and risk roles. Practise choosing the next best action and explaining the evidence.
Three timed diagnostics and readiness review

COURSE QUESTIONS
Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) FAQs
Clear answers about curriculum, audience, instructors, fees, and scheduling.
What is the current CAMS exam pattern?
ACAMS currently describes CAMS as a 3.5-hour, computer-based and proctored examination with 120 multiple-choice questions, including knowledge and practical scenario-based questions. Confirm the current handbook before scheduling because certification policies can change.
What score is required to pass CAMS?
The current ACAMS candidate handbook states that the passing score is 75. Treat this as the official ACAMS score requirement, not as a percentage prediction from an independent practice test.
Who is eligible to apply for CAMS?
Applicants need active ACAMS membership and at least 40 eligibility credits drawn from education, relevant professional experience, certifications and financial-crime training. Use the official ACAMS eligibility calculator and candidate handbook for your individual assessment.
Who should take CAMS preparation?
The path is relevant to AML analysts, KYC analysts, transaction-monitoring analysts, compliance professionals, financial-crime analysts, BSA/AML professionals, and fraud and risk professionals who need specialist-level AML knowledge.
Does ITCertPath sell an independent CAMS exam voucher?
ACAMS packages CAMS study resources and exam access through its official certification route. ITCertPath provides independent training and package-selection guidance; ACAMS controls membership, eligibility, application approval, payment, scheduling, exam delivery and the credential.
Are the ITCertPath CAMS questions official exam questions?
No. They are original learning scenarios based on public CAMS objectives and common AML responsibilities. They are not copied, recalled or live ACAMS exam questions.
How should I use the three CAMS practice sets?
Use each 10-question diagnostic under its timer, review every explanation, group missed questions by domain and return to the official study guide. The sets are focused previews and do not reproduce the full 120-question official examination.
Can CAMS preparation guarantee that I pass?
No responsible training provider can guarantee an exam result. Preparation should improve understanding and decision-making, while ACAMS remains responsible for the official exam and scoring.
