ICA strives to work with regulators and industry bodies worldwide to promote best practice through standards of competence and recognised qualifications. ICA is currently working with organisations in Australia and Malaysia to bring its qualifications to the region.

Australia
ICA in association with the Australian Financial Markets Association (AFMA) has created a new Diploma of Applied Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing. This will be first qualification of its type that will be mapped to the Australian National Standards and be accredited through both state and national frameworks.

The course is due to commence in Sydney in mid 2011.

Malaysia
ICA has entered into an agreement with the Institute of Bankers Malaysia (IBBM) and the Asia Institute of Finance (AIF) to create a national training framework and a series of qualifications in anti money laundering.

The first programmes are expected to run from June 2011.
