Our Anti-Financial Crime (AFC) Programs help you

Acquire the skills needed to fight financial crime.

Financial crime fuels some of the worst crimes against society including human trafficking, child sex trafficking, drug trafficking, environmental crimes, frauds and scams like pig butchering.

We are addressing this challenge by building a community of skilled professionals with verifiable skills i.e., Certified Due Diligence Professionals (CDDPs). Our AFC  Programs are  focussed on helping anti-financial crime professionals acquire the practical due diligence skills needed, including the ongoing upskilling, to foster trust and help businesses mitigate the risk of financial crime and fuel commerce.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What support will Client Fabric provide CDDPs?

Once you acquire the CDDP certification Client Fabric will organise a monthly upskilling session to ensure your learning is current and you have a forum to have your questions, related to AFC, answered. Attending these sessions and keeping your learning current is also a key requirement for the annual recertification.

What do you mean by verifiable skils?

All of the key professionals we rely on have verifiable skills i.e., someone has trained and tested them. We place our trust in that process having done its job well and therefore we trust these professionals. The CDDP Program will train and test your ability to conduct due diligence and this then allows us to make a representation to the industry that you have acquired the skills needed to conduct due diligence i.e., we verify your skills and make this representation to the industry.

Does a CDDP certification guarantee me a job?

A CDDP certification gives you the verifiable skills needed to give yourself the best chance to secure a role in the 'always in demand' anti-financial crime sector. A CDDP certification also means you would have acquired the skills needed to be effective in your role as a financial crime fighter and save lives.

What is the CAG?

CAG stands for the Curriculum Advisory Group and is a group of leaders from industry, regulators and academia who have been assembled to review and provide guidance on the curriculum being developed. The CAG's goal is to ensure that the content is industry relevant and addresses gaps identified. The CAG is chaired by Ray Blake and meets every month.

Who provides the CDDP certification?

What is Anti-Financial Crime?

Anti-Financial Crime is the sum total of all of the controls to fight financial crime and includes upskilling. Our upskilling programs focus on helping you acquire the verifiable due diligence skills which are a critical part of anti-financial crime efforts.

What is a CDDP?

CDDP is short for a Certified Due Diligence Professional and we believe they are critical in the fight against financial crime. You see, we have professionals we rely on in all walks of life including for managing our tax, accounting, legal needs and even to take care of our pets BUT, when it comes to fighting financial crime, for some reason we have never invested in skilled professionals who need to meet certain professional standards. We think this is a serious gap and are seeking to address that with the creation of the CDDP program.

How can I become a CDDP?

You have to apply to be accepted OR be nominated by your employer. There is an assessment before you are admitted to participate in the program. In some cases you may need to complete the AFC Elements or the AFC Bootcamp program before you can participate in the CDDP Program. This is especially the case if you have less than 2 years of work experience.
