Q & A: Organizations Anti-Corruption Certification Program

The AACI delivers globally a disciplined anti-corruption certification program to organizations seeking to prevent fraud and corruption inside their business processes, operations, and culture.

This certification process is the first of its kind worldwide and forms a basis for institutional change in fighting fraud and corruption. It is available to organizations of all types. The process is “principally” administered and completed online.

As we received too many questions about this certification program, the technical staff of The AACI addressed the substance of these matters in the following question and answer format.

Q: What is the Corruption Prevention Management Test (CPMT)?

The AACI:  The CPMT is an online test authored by and copyrighted to The AACI. It is the core of the organizations' anti-corruption certification program. Except for the CACM members of The AACI, the CPMT is not available to individuals; it is only available to organizations ( private, public, or nonprofit) seeking to get certified through the organization anti-corruption certification program. As the exam unit of The AACI administers it, we use third party software to deliver the CPMT (software provider).

Q: What are the benefits of getting an organization certified?

The AACI: The certification process enables those charged with governance of the organization to:

Evaluate and measure relevant corruption prevention knowledge competencies of the board members, senior management and employees.

Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the entity's corruption prevention knowledge that is necessary for preventing fraud and corruption.

Select appropriate responses to address identified corruption prevention knowledge weaknesses.
