The Certified Anti-Corruption Manager (CACM) raises the bar for executive management and those in charge of governance in all economic sectors when preventing fraud and corruption. It's the only worldwide certification program that enables executives to set the right tone at the top. The CACM certification methodology is based on The American Anti-Corruption Institute's (AACI) Ten Principles of Fighting Corruption and its accompanying standards, as well as the United Nations Convention Against Corruption. Furthermore, it focuses primarily on providing decision-makers with appropriate anti-corruption intelligence to assist them in institutionalizing corruption prevention in their companies and communities.

The CACM exam is an in-person, proctored, online test. It is designed to test the anti-corruption intelligence of CACM candidates. The AACI coined “the minimum, optimum knowledge a decision-maker should have to avoid fraud and corruption intelligently. Such knowledge includes the proper blend of due diligence, internal control, anti-corruption, blockchain technology, governance, whistleblowing, decision making, auditing, and accounting ( from a management perspective and duties) to avoid fraud and corruption." By avoidance, we emphasize the concept of deterrence and prevention. Corruption prevention is less expensive and better than any cure.
