He holds bachelor degrees in Economics and Political Science from the University of Ghana — Legon. He is a chartered banker and associate member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (Ghana). He is also a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS).
He has attended several international and local courses on risk management, treasury function, auditing, fraud, anti-money laundering and combating financing of terrorism, financial crimes prevention, and Basel II framework.

Currently, he is leading a team of dedicated ACAMS members in Ghana to form an ACAMS local chapter in Ghana.
With his strong commitment to the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing in Ghana, he was selected by Ghana’s FIC as part of a three member delegation to represent Ghana at GIABA’s AML/CTF seminar/workshop in Dakar Senegal in 2011, where he made valuable inputs into the communiqué that was issued after the conference.
That was a wonderful feat sitting in this page about our colleague.
I do cherish his place in our endeavours towards achieving enviable gains in Ghana’s fight against money laundering and it is no gainsaying that Reindorf is where he is today and all of us in Ghana’s drive are happy to have him.
Working with him in the Ghana’s Compliance fraternity has been interesting and enjoyable. Reindorf will readily share knowledge and information while employing his strong sense of posture as a good listener.
Reindorf, keep up the good work and remember this one thing:
– We celebrate your achievements and will always support your cause!
Congrats, our Honourable Co-Chair of Ghana’s ACAMS Chapter.
