Policy-Compliance Link: The RUSI-ACAMS Partnership
RUSI’s Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies and ACAMS have partnered to share insights and ideas on critical issues in financial crime compliance.
RUSI and the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) have teamed up to provide insight and analysis on issues that are of pressing concern to the financial crime compliance community. We bring together cross-sector expertise to bridge policy guidelines with implementation in the private sector through events, speaking engagements and publications. Our signature product is a series of surveys conducted in partnership with YouGov, which provide unique perspectives from policymakers and the compliance community.
