CISI - Global Financial Compliance
A successful compliance function is a fundamental requirement for any effective business; in financial services it is a critical component.
The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI)’s Global Financial Compliance qualification is a comprehensive global introduction to all the issues a global compliance officer may encounter. It provides a sound grounding in:
- the international regulatory environment
- the compliance function
- managing the risk of financial crime
- ethics, integrity and fairness
- governance, risk management and compliance


Global Financial Compliance can be taken as a stand-alone award. It can also be taken with a local regulatory paper (such as DIFC Rules & Regulations). Upon successful completion of Combating Financial Crime and a regulatory paper, candidates will be awarded the Certificate in Combating Financial Crime.
