ICA Advanced Certificate in Business Compliance

Following this course, you will be able to:

• Explain the compliance landscape relevant to non-regulated businesses, distinguishing between different types of obligations and assessing what they mean for your organisation in practice. 
• Apply a risk-based, proportionate approach to identifying and prioritising your organisation's compliance obligations, taking into account its size, structure and commercial context. 
• Apply a practical compliance framework appropriate to a non-regulated business environment, incorporating governance structures, clear accountability, effective policies and proportionate controls. 
• Develop and apply strategies to embed a culture of compliance, using effective communication, training and awareness to engage colleagues at every level, and drawing on your understanding of the behavioural and cultural factors that determine whether compliance programmes succeed or fail. 
• Build and operate monitoring and reporting processes that give you credible, evidence-based answers when leadership asks whether the business is meeting its obligations, and the tools to respond proportionately when it isn't. 
• Assess and improve the effectiveness of your compliance programme using maturity models and continuous improvement approaches, and keep it current as obligations, technology and the business change. 
• Recognise the early signs of a compliance crisis and manage your compliance responsibilities through periods of significant disruption. 
• Make a compelling case for compliance, measuring and communicating its commercial, ethical and reputational value, and positioning it as a strategic asset within your organisation.
