Both formats are assessed by a written assignment which must be submitted within two weeks of the facilitated discussion.

"This was a fantastic course offered by the International Compliance Association, which really drilled down on the regulatory requirements and expectations of the role, as well as covering an array of leadership skills such as stakeholder management to embrace and optimise that trusted advisor status."

Claire Hyde

“As my first job as MLRO, this certification helped me to understand the standards for this position and boost my confidence! Also, sharing with other D/MLROs is an invaluable experience.”
