ACAMS International Glossary of Key Money Laundering Terms and Acronyms

The ACAMS International Glossary of Key Money Laundering Terms and Acronyms is designed to help anti-money laundering professionals in defining terms commonly used in the money laundering field worldwide. The purpose of this glossary is to collect the definitions – of terms like "CIP", "MOT", KYC", etc. – in one place for easy reference (excerpt from the foreword).

This glossary is provided by the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS). Thanks to ACAMS which has given permission to use the glossary for publication on the ICAR Knowledge Center, many of the definitions from the glossary are available online.
