Creating a working plan to continuously develop your appropriate competencies will ensure that you perform at your best and will prepare you to meet your future career goals.
You can plan, track and record your CPD online although, much of this will be logged automatically once you have completed an activity from within our CPD Centre.
You can upload attendance certificates and other documentation to provide evidence of achievement. This enables you to not only keep a record of your achievements to track your success, but also to show both employees and regulators that you are remaining competent in your field.
Obtaining CPD will help you meet your own personal development goals and our CPD log and Development Plan can be used as evidence of your professionalism and competence to employers and regulators.

Our new logo.
For 14 years we’ve looked the same but now we’d like to introduce you to our new logo and branding. We hope you like it.
ICA was established in 2001 and since then a lot has changed in the world of regulatory and financial crime compliance. We’ve seen the compliance profession develop and grow and as an Association we have evolved too.
Our new logo represents our heritage as a professional and awarding body as well acknowledging the new direction for the Association of the future. Over the coming months we’ll be launching new qualifications, new membership levels and a brand new CPD portal.
Our members remain at the heart of everything we do and we hope you will continue to support us and grow with us.
