Why This Particular Executive Program?

Creating a culture of compliance is an important risk management strategy. Recent corporate collapses have heavily focused on the need for good corporate governance and an effective compliance program is an integral part of this structure. In addition to this, on satisfactory completion of the program you will receive certification from the internationally recognized financial association, the American Academy of Financial Management. Founded in America, the AAFM has members now in over 150 countries and as such this course brings with it the experience of professionals in the US, EU, Australia and other dynamic financial markets. This certification will entitle you to use the formal designation Certified Compliance Officer (CCO) on your résumé and business cards.

 

This intensive program will provide a blueprint for compliance professionals to follow to ensure that the risk profile of your organization is limited by a thorough understanding of your regulatory environment.

 

Why Compliance Management?

In many financial markets, a formal compliance management system is not only recommended, but required by the regulatory community and by good corporate governance principles. Since recent news of financial misreporting by firm and institutions such as: Greece, Portugal, Spain, or like Enron, Worldcom, etc, the pressure on corporations to more transparently manage their compliance exposures is mounting. While some may observe that such regulatory requirements have not yet made their way to the Middle-East, it is clear that Middle-East enterprises operating globally must adhere to such guidelines. This program also represents an unrivalled opportunity for regional organizations to prepare themselves for the arrival of more rigorous regulatory environments.
