Why This Particular Executive

Creating a culture of compliance is an important risk management
strategy. Recent corporate collapses have heavily focused on the need for good corporate governance and an
effective compliance program is an integral part of this structure. In addition to this, on satisfactory completion
of the program you will receive certification from the internationally recognized financial association, the
American Academy of Financial Management. Founded in America, the GAFM has members now in over 150 countries
and as such this course brings with it the experience of professionals in the US, EU, Australia and other dynamic
financial markets. This certification will entitle you to use the formal designation Certified Compliance Officer
(CCO) on your résumé and business cards.
This intensive program will provide a blueprint for
compliance professionals to follow to ensure that the risk profile of your organization is limited by a thorough
understanding of your regulatory environment.
Why Compliance Management?
In many financial markets, a formal compliance management system
is not only recommended, but required by the regulatory community and by good corporate governance principles.
Since recent news of financial misreporting by firm and institutions such as: Greece, Portugal, Spain, or like
Enron, Worldcom, etc, the pressure on corporations to more transparently manage their compliance exposures is
mounting. While some may observe that such regulatory requirements have not yet made their way to the Middle-East,
it is clear that Middle-East enterprises operating globally must adhere to such guidelines. This program also
represents an unrivalled opportunity for regional organizations to prepare themselves for the arrival of more
rigorous regulatory environments.
