Dennis Schwartz

Master of Arts in Financial Integrity

"Being part of the first Financial Integrity cohort was a terrific experience. The programme was a comprehensive look into all aspects of financial integrity from the international platform to the individual business level.

This has allowed me to better understand how to approach my roles by placing them in a broader, more meaningful context. The MAFI programme has also helped me communicate more effectively with a wide range of clients and personnel, from analysts to company officers and regulators.
The classes were very informative, engaging, and were taught by industry leaders from all areas. The small class size provided unique opportunities for dialogue with people that have created standards and laws governing money laundering both in the U.S. and internationally, prosecuted large & complex money laundering cases, and dealt with the regulatory burden for large international companies.

The MAFI programme also provided an amazing opportunity to develop my professional network as I still stay in touch with both teachers and students from my class. Several students have advanced their careers as a result of the MAFI programme while it encouraged me to return to Case Western to pursue
a law degree."
