Training and Certification – Powered by the Institute for Financial Integrity

In recent years, financial crimes and illicit financing risks have expanded in scope, complexity, and importance—including across money laundering, terrorist financing, proliferation financing, sanctions evasion, and corruption. These risks are increasingly threatening the integrity and security of the international financial system.

It’s more important than ever for financial institutions, vulnerable industries, and jurisdictional authorities around the world to adopt or reinvigorate training programs in order to meet elevated compliance and risk management expectations, protect their reputations, and safeguard our collective security.

K2 Integrity provides premier training and certification programs and training advisory services across the full spectrum of financial crimes and illicit finance risks. Our offerings equip clients with the expertise, skills, and judgment they need to address these evolving risks on a global scale.
