21 July 2026: International Compliance Association (ICA) has announced a package of fully funded scholarships at the Asia Region Anti-Trafficking Conference (ARAT) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. ICA will provide two places on the ICA Certified Financial Crime Investigator course and ten further places across ICA's Certificate and Specialist Certificate courses.
The initiative was proposed by BC Tan, a member of ICA's APAC Advisory Board, who has worked extensively with anti-trafficking organisations. Mr. Tan made the announcement in person at the conference and has also offered to personally teach the programmes.
Applications will be assessed against criteria including the relevance of the applicant's role, organisational need, a commitment to apply the learning within their organisation, and regional spread. Applications will be reviewed by ICA's APAC Advisory Board, who will notify successful applicants directly.
Further details on the application process will be issued in the coming weeks.
