About the Certified Compliance Officer

Regulatory environments are developing rapidly, with governments and organisations recognising that well structured and enforced corporate governance régimes are essential for both national and corporate performance. As the economies of the region continue to grow in both scale and sophistication, the impact of the regulatory environment will be increasingly felt in all organisations. Regardless of the specific regulatory environment your organisation operates in, the skills and competencies required to set up and operate an effective compliance function remain the same.

This Certified Compliance Officer is designed to provide attendees a practical understanding of the current regulatory compliance needs. The programme covers eight major subject areas and utilises a variety of training techniques. The key areas of the curriculum include understanding the regulatory environment, who is responsible for compliance, the role of corporate governance and ethics in compliance and the implementation of compliance based programmes. The emphasis will be on practical and pragmatic approaches rather than theoretical.
