Certified Anti-Corruption Expert Manager (CACEM)

The AACI launched a higher-level anti-corruption certification program: Certified Anti-Corruption Expert Manager (CACEM). The certification process engages candidates in intensive high-profile anti-corruption case analysis.

It empowers them to implement the Principles of Fighting Corruption and Standards on Fighting Corruption (SFCs) by applying critical thinking to real public corruption cases, scandals, current news, published research, or investigations.

The program extends for five-to-ten months and is conducted online through the Zoom video platform. Successful attainment of CACEM status requires a minimum score of 75%.

Certified Anti-Corruption Manager (CACM)

Certified Anti-Corruption Manager (CACM) is a premier international qualification for management, designed to equip decision-makers with the knowledge and skills required to fight fraud and corruption from a management position.

The AACI is the only global institute providing a rigorous and disciplined scheme to qualify management to fight corruption. The CACM is not technical, yet it builds on management science and the practical skills management already uses.

Universities and Academic Institutions

Certified Anti-Corruption Entity (CACE) ®©

Certified Anti-Corruption Entity (CACE) ®© is an institutional diagnostic that measures corruption exposure arising from anti-corruption knowledge intelligence exercised at the level of organizational authority.

CACE does not certify integrity, compliance, or governance quality. It gives boards and senior leadership a structured, non-comparative view of how corruption risk may materialize despite formal controls and policies.
