The Financial Skills Partnership, in partnership with the International Compliance Association and industry firms and practitioners, have developed the first ever National Occupational Standards for those working in compliance, anti-money laundering and financial crime prevention in the UK.


As part of an industry wide initiative to develop best practice for staff working in compliance, AML and financial crime prevention across the entire financial services industry, the FSP launched a consultation process on the standards. The project committee consulted widely with the industry, and took on board comments received during the consultation process, before submitting them for approval. The first standards were produced in 2006 and the updated 2011 versions are now available below


ICA qualifications have been mapped against the standards accordingly.
