Introduction
Compliance training is a comprehensive Programme that helps organizations and their employees conduct operations in an ethical manner, with extreme integrity, and in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. New risks because of demanding economic conditions increase pressure on compliance leaders.
Traditionally, compliance officers focused on expanding coverage to various risks and layering compliance activities on top of business workflows and systems. However, recently, the focus has shifted to introducing compliance programmes as part of operations.

It will provide you with the necessary experience, exposure and skill to play an important part in creating compliance policies and systems in your organization and successfully and effectively manage these to help the organization progress within all ethical and legal boundaries.
