Bill Wittler, compliance manager at Next Generation Services, has recently earned his certification as a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) from ACAMS, marking a significant achievement in his career and for the company. This certification, recognized globally as the gold standard in anti-money laundering (AML) certifications, underscores the firm's commitment to maintaining a strong compliance program and safeguarding client assets. Wittler, who has been with Next Generation since 2013 and holds additional certifications, expressed his enthusiasm for applying his new knowledge to enhance the company's compliance efforts.
The CAMS certification, offered by ACAMS, the largest international membership organization dedicated to combating financial crime, requires a deep understanding of AML issues. Money laundering, a critical concern worldwide, involves disguising illegally obtained funds to appear legitimate, with estimates suggesting it accounts for nearly 5% of global GDP. Wittler's achievement equips Next Generation with enhanced capabilities to detect and prevent such activities, ensuring the integrity of client investments.
Jaime Raskulinecz, founder and CEO of Next Generation Services, praised Wittler's initiative in pursuing further education to bolster his role in transaction compliance monitoring. The firm specializes in self-directed retirement plans, offering clients the flexibility to invest in a wide range of alternative assets.
