What you learn to do

The skills compliance officers actually need

From law to obligation to policy

Read legislation into obligations and gap assessments, then into policies a firm can follow.

Three lines of defence

Where compliance sits, and how to make the model work in a small or medium-sized firm.

Testing and remediation

Design compliance testing, teach it, and track remediation from finding to closure.

Defensible risk assessment

Methodologies that stand up to a regulator, with evidence and a review cycle.

Requirements versus effectiveness

The difference between meeting a rule and running an effective programme.

Records and defensibility

Records management that proves what was done, when and by whom.

Board reporting

Quality reporting that gives directors what they need to exercise oversight.

Beyond financial crime

Prudential, tax compliance and liquidity obligations taught as core principles, not specialist content for one firm type.

Admission

Open to non-graduates with experience

Designed first for newcomers and career changers, and expected to attract experienced professionals later in their careers. Admission follows professional-body practice: relevant experience can substitute for a first degree.
