Continuing Professional Education (CPE)

Empowering Certified Professionals to Stay Ahead

At The American Anti-Corruption Institute (AACI), continuing professional education (CPE) is more than a requirement — it is a commitment to sustained integrity, competence, and leadership in fighting corruption.

All Certified Anti-Corruption Managers (CACM) and Certified Anti-Corruption Expert Managers (CACEM) must complete 30 hours of CPE per year, ensuring their knowledge remains current in corruption prevention, internal control, governance, and ethical decision-making.

As part of this annual requirement:

  • 3 hours must focus on ethics and governance, and

  • 2 hours must focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain applications in fighting corruption.

CPE credit may be earned through programs delivered by The AACI, its authorized strategic partnersapproved institutions, and other recognized professional bodies worldwide.

Explore courses, workshops, and online learning opportunities that qualify for your annual CPE requirement.
