In a word… EXPERIENCE! Our founder and president Joseph J. Gunnell has over 30-years experience as a bank examiner with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). When the Financial Recordkeeping and Reporting of Currency and Foreign Transactions Act of 1970 (a/k/a The Bank Secrecy Act) became law he immediately began specializing in financial institution's compliance programs. Mr. Gunnell is a proud member of The Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) which is one of the world’s largest organizations devoted entirely to the professionalization of the anti-money laundering specialist and to the development of standards by which the specialist can be identified, distinguished and certified.

Mr. Gunnell became a member of ACAMS in 2004 and in 2005 received   his certification as an Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS). In 2007 when the Bank Administration Institute (BAI) offered a program in anti-money laundering he quickly became certified as an Anti-Money Laundering Professional (AMLP).

During 1999 Mr. Gunnell successfully completed a four-phase (Legal Elements of Fraud, Criminology and Ethics, Financial Transactions, and Fraud Investigation) examination process.   This resulted in his designation as a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) by The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, a global organization headquartered in Austin, Texas.

He graduated from Loyola University, Chicago, Illinois; Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management, Glendale, Arizona; University of Wisconsin Graduate School of Banking, Madison, Wisconsin; and was an instructor in BSA/AML at the FDIC’s training center, Arlington, Virginia.
