CKYCA Certified Know Your Customer Associate Exam Prep Guide

Video Guide of the CKYCA Exam Notes and Material

I will help you prepare for the CKYCA exam from ACAMS.

The Certified Know Your Customer Associate (CKYCA) Certification is a globally recognized training program and exam for professionals early in their KYC/CDD careers.

The Certified Know Your Customer Associate (CKYCA) program sets a new global standard for KYC compliance staff involved in analysis, onboarding, anti-money laundering prevention, and other related roles, providing recipients the core competencies required to perform KYC/customer due diligence (CDD) including enhanced due diligence (EDD) duties for higher risk customers with minimal supervision and experience.

CKYCA applicants will learn procedures and strategies to assess and validate customer data, identify ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) and associated third parties, screen for matches from sanctions lists and media reports, analyze managed assets and red flags for risk assessment purposes, and create customer profiles that account for privacy requirements and future audits, among other skills.

The CKYCA program is a crucial piece of the ACAMS mission to equip our members with everything they need to excel in the anti-money laundering and anti-financial crime compliance sector. Whether you’re a junior KYC analyst or a team lead, this program will help you identify sources of wealth and flag potential criminal activity hidden behind opaque and complex structures.

In this course, I go through the various concepts of the CKYCA with video lectures.
