Jason Rush, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at First United Bank & Trust, is proud to announce that Phil Rodeheaver and Eric Goff recently passed the Certified Anti-Money Laundering and Fraud Professional exam and can now proudly display their CAFP designations.
Rodeheaver is Vice President and Managing Director of Risk at First United and has worked in the financial services industry for over 30 years. Goff is Vice President and Fraud Officer at First United and has 25 years of financial services expertise, with 13 years at First United.
To earn the designation of a CAFP, Rodeheaver and Goff had to demonstrate experience and knowledge in anti-money laundering and fraud program design and governance, regulatory requirements, and how to detect, prevent and report emerging money laundering and fraud risks.
“We commend Phil and Eric for achieving this designation and furthering their commitment to safety and security at First United Bank & Trust,” Rush said. “It’s vital that those in our risk management and fraud departments stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the financial fraud world, and this is another fantastic example of that dedication to protecting our customers and educating the public about risk management.”
