Attendees will be provided with a certificate of attendance for each session attended. Attendees are responsible for download and submission of their certificates and reporting of credits to their industry accreditation program.
Notes:
- Individuals are responsible for their accreditation requirements, and submission of these materials to their designated accrediting body.
- ACAMS does not add credits for non-ACAMS produced events to member profiles. Attendees should provide their certificate of participation for certification or recertification purposes.
- American Bankers Association (ABA) Professional Certifications require attendees to self-submit credit to their Certification Dashboard record.
- Verafin is not registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as an official sponsor of continuing professional education, and this event is not directly accredited for CPE credits with any industry accreditation program. However, we provide attendees with personalized certificates of attendance, a detailed agenda and descriptions of sessions, that align with requirements as outlined in ACFE, Community Banker University, and other industry accreditation that accept CPE credit hours for external educational events.
