As an expert in the field of compliance management, I can attest to the significance of this course in providing professionals with the necessary skills to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. In today’s dynamic business environment, compliance has emerged as a critical aspect for organisations across various industries. With regulations constantly evolving in the UK, EU, US, and globally, professionals need to stay abreast of changes to ensure their organisations remain compliant and avoid potential legal implications.
The course offers a comprehensive exploration of compliance management practices, contextualised within the broader economic environment. By examining changes in regulations and their impact on business operations, participants gain valuable insights into the intricacies of compliance management. This includes understanding the nuances of different regulatory frameworks and developing strategies to ensure organisational compliance in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
Moreover, the course goes beyond theoretical learning by incorporating real-world case studies and practical tools. These case studies provide participants with actionable insights into implementing compliance management techniques in their day-to-day operations. From risk assessment to compliance communication strategies, participants learn how to effectively navigate compliance challenges and mitigate potential risks.
One of the key strengths of the course lies in its focus on practical application. Participants not only gain a theoretical understanding of compliance management but also acquire tangible skills that can be immediately applied in their professional roles. This includes learning how to develop compliance frameworks, conduct compliance audits, and communicate effectively with stakeholders regarding compliance requirements.
Overall, the course equips professionals with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to excel in compliance management roles. By staying ahead of regulatory changes and implementing best practices in compliance management, participants can contribute to the long-term success and sustainability of their organisations in an increasingly regulated business environment.
Course Key Topics
the Compliance Management (Level 3) course is divided into 10 modules.
Module 1: What is Compliance Management?
The ordinary person became concerned with compliance when large firms momentously failed in how they conducted honest business, the best example being Enron in the USA. In 2014 Tescos Supermarket in the UK is being investigated for over-claiming on profits which made them look far more successful than they had been. This is considered to be business fraud. So a method for ensuring the delivery of high quality for discerning customers needed to be established. The first module will introduce the modern concepts of compliance management (CM) terminology, skills, and how these can change and develop within a business management context. It examines the way CM theories evolved, and the compliance manager’s role in this process. A range of guidelines in practical compliance mandates exist with recognised regulatory Industrial bodies in all countries who give support and clarity, so these will be discussed for a range of businesses and industries.
Module 2: The individual as a Compliance Manager
Each individual has to take responsibility in knowing what their company or business does and their roles in completing work well and to a high standard. Some employers expect a SWOT analysis so each individual is aware of their strengths and weakness, opportunities and threats. The manager has to drive what is best for the whole company and encourage individuals to perform their best at all times, so he must get support from the executive to e.g. set benchmark targets by offering incentives and benefits to employees. We investigate the essential core skills needed for a compliance manager to deliver high standards. Tips and techniques are given for successful compliance management, compliance goal-setting, compliance problem-solving, effective compliance resolution meetings, compliance interviewing and giving or receiving compliance related feedback. Relevant tools are explored, including compliance landscape analysis. Often it is easy to recognise failings and problems, but the most useful skill is how to inform and encourage the company on how to make changes to compile to best practice, maximise profits and meet legal requirements, so tips on how this can be achieved are learned through studying a real case study.
Module 3: Compliance Structure and Environment
Any company that is assessed will be seen differently through different eyes, and often management may changes that make not make sense to the employees who actually deliver the work. Common sense tells us that any compliance strategy must consult every employee at every level, communication, transparency and thoroughness of analysis is essential. This module includes an assessment of different features and types of compliance organisation structure and the various environments within which compliance organisations operate. So roles and responsibilities must be very clear, and specialist staff must be aware of the impact of their advice on the actual work being done. Recent trends and the move towards the use of compliance integration will be assessed for an actual company, and how this will help it to anticipate a compliance organisation future evolution.
Module 4: Managing Compliance Processes
Again we start with a real case study of an Insurance company to first assess its working history and then suggesting a Compliance request by setting goals, implementing changes and seeing it through to completion. This module takes an in-depth look at processes that the internal features of a compliance organisation requires, including planning and strategy, compliance costs and budgets and the benefits of understanding the compliance processes of a business. Examples of how to implement the process and practical advice is provided on facilitation of training e.g. through workshops, in the context of compliance process improvement. Different models of compliance processes are assessed, both generally and by looking in-depth at a case study which has helped ground compliance management processes from start to finish, show its merits and provide a guide on how to do it well.
Module 5: Managing Compliance Projects
In any project a company will have hired the best team to set realistic goals and targets to complete a project, keeping to budget and timeframe, and meeting legal compliance requirements. How this can be achieved and failure to do this is investigated here. The module helps to answer ‘What is a compliance project?’; this is achieved by providing a step-by-step breakdown of the key phases for managing compliance projects in order for them to be a success. It provides advice on financing compliance projects, and on quality compliance assessment. Guidance on compliance project team roles and effective brainstorming for problem-solving is provided in order to minimise risk and problems.
Module 6: Managing Compliance Diversity
Diversity, like the word itself has several meanings or belief of what it is in reference to an issue, e.g. performance measure diversity, retail diversity, cultural diversity, product diversity. For each it is essential a variation in 2 or more entities, but key to all, is that it must be managed professionally with attention to detail. A useful example is the request to banks from customers requiring moral and ethical investment of their funds. This module embraces the increasingly diverse UK, EU, US and global compliance mandates and the business case for managing by diversity-unification principles. Key compliance issues, requests from discerning customers and legislation will be examined, including common challenges and potential conflicts, and diverse compliance themes of international regulatory styles. Another example is the request for organic and fairly sourced products, and the battle to offer these at a competitive price but ensure they are as advertised (organic and fair trade).
Module 7: Compliance and Change
Compliance and change may be regarded as a ‘chicken and egg principle’ – which comes first? This is very important in company compliance and how to manage governance during a period of necessary change to meet legal requirements. We define governance, organisational structure and policies as these are the responsible control entities within a company. Accordingly this module includes a review of compliance-caused/affecting organisational changes. We discover that compliance is not as easy to manage and implement as legislature demands. However, managing the compliance-change process and dealing with individual resistance and cultural issues is covered in order to facilitate a start in the compliance process. Techniques on successfully achieving compliance and change involve the use of coaching, mentoring and facilitation development, e.g.it may not be possible to change a large company all at once and so we begin a cyclic process of compliance and change.
Module 8: Quality and Compliance
If you cannot size it, you cannot measure it, and if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it – this is a quality and compliance axiom. Numerous frameworks, standards, techniques and concepts have evolved over the past decades to improve product and quality of service. The use of compliance goals, related compliance performance indicators, service level agreements and benchmarking will be considered, along with a review of quality-compliance management improvement. It is the responsibility of every employee and manager to deliver the best possible product and service and this is easy to do if monitor and evaluate measures and checks are in place. Annual reports containing statistics, accurate records of e.g. complaints, meeting targets and profits are one method for measuring quality.
Module 9: Audit and Compliance
Audits, the evaluation of predetermined criteria of an entity, person or company, are commonly known in the financial context, but it can be applied to any company and department. If you cannot audit it, you cannot measure it, and if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it – this is an audit and compliance axiom. The use of audit objectives in different contexts, risk assessments, related audit-compliance performance indicators, service level agreements and benchmarking will be considered, along with a review of audit-compliance management improvement. An audit is an indication of financial compliance so declarations made by a company are assessed in terms of transparency and honesty, e.g. there is no money laundering or fraud, reliability and use of resources e.g. IT are being appropriately used, and it carries out a check on effectiveness of quality control.
Module 10: Ethics and Compliance
There have been a large number of scandals particularly in the financial, banking and large company dealings. It appears that fraud and corruption have always existed but they are being exposed more and more encouraging the growth of compliance and regulation to protect the general public. Talk of greed and mistrust is common, especially when in the UK the very people elected were found to be misclaiming expenses. This module examines recent and historic trends in business ethics, corporate governance, environmental issues and social responsibility. The benefits of ethical and corporate responsibility is discussed in a climate where case studies and examples show the ease of corrupt behaviour in business. Common examples of failure to comply e.g. by avoidance of paying tax to mis-selling products are discussed. Practical advice is provided with tips and guidance on making ethics and compliance presentations.
Finally, the course review summary helps to reflect on learning and also to help set career goals in the field of compliance management.

Career Profile - Compliance Officer
Career Profile
Risk and compliance officers are responsible for ensuring an organisation adheres to government regulations
As a compliance officer, you’ll ensure a company complies with its outside regulatory requirements and internal policies. In short, you’re responsible for making sure that your employer plays by the rules.
After the global economic downturn, organisations (and particularly financial service ones) have been significantly increasing the size of their risk and compliance departments to respond to new regulations. Billions of pounds in fines were imposed on many of the top tier banks, compelling many to grow their teams as they rushed to ensure they were compliant.
Types of Compliance Work
Regulated industries include:
* financial services
* insurance
* banking
* technology
* environmental
* healthcare/pharmaceutical
* property
* charity/not-for-profit
* gaming
* retail.
Specialist areas in compliance, include:
* assurance
* financial crime
* monitoring
* product advisory
* regulatory affairs
* trade surveillanc
Responsibilities
As a compliance professional, you’ll need to:
* perform risk assessments to understand risk level, significance and scope
* keep up to date with, and understand, relevant laws and regulations
* monitor compliance with laws, regulations and internal policies
* manage voluntary best practice relating to professional standards
* ensure that your findings are recorded and followed up with management so that issues can be rectified
* educate employees on not only the regulations, but also the impact on the organisation if these aren’t complied with
* investigate irregularities and non-compliance issues
* report back to business functions on current risk and compliance performance
* highlight or escalate areas of concern
* contribute to robust and effective compliance controls within the organisation
* review marketing materials, presentations and websites to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
* assist in the gathering of internal information in response to regulatory requests
* perform various general administrative duties (such as file creation and maintenance of ongoing administrative projects)
* collaborate with other departments to create a culture of compliance.
Salary
The industry you choose to work in often affects how much you get paid – for instance, compliance officers in banking are more highly paid than compliance officers in charities.
* Starting salaries for compliance officers range from £18,000 to £35,000.
* Compliance managers can earn between £30,000 and £75,000.
* Senior managers in compliance can earn up to, and more than, £100,000.
Contract or temporary roles may also be worth considering. Day rates for compliance professionals are in the region of £400 to £600 per day.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
Working hours are typically 8.30am to 5.30pm. While compliance is not revenue-generating, you’ll often find yourself working on business-critical projects, often with little notice. Generally though, you’ll enjoy a good work/life balance compared with other professional services jobs.
Some employers recruit on a day-rate basis, opting to pay per day rather than by the hour. As with many professional roles, paid overtime is rare.
What to expect
* Compliance is at the heart of many businesses, so even junior compliance officers get to interact with senior leaders. Few other graduate jobs offer you this level of visibility in both large and small companies.
* Regulations and laws change so your job will change too. It’s this change in the role that many graduates enjoy.
* The number of risk and compliance jobs is rising due to increasing regulations, particularly in the banking sector.
* Compliance is closely related to risk, and as such is often slightly more structured and formal than some other departments. Expect to wear business dress rather than anything casual.
* Compliance jobs are often based indoors though if you pursue a career in energy compliance you could find yourself on an oil rig.
* Compliance jobs in financial services are often London-based.
* Many jobs cover numerous locations so expect some travel.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* critical problem-solving ability. You’ll often have to make decisions on the information available, which is not always in black and white
* an ability to analyse and interpret information quickly (in some sectors such as trading, decisions need to be made within minutes)
* an interest in your chosen area. You’re likely to be delving in to granular levels of detail as a compliance professional so you’re more likely to enjoy the role if you have an interest in the sector. This should prove easy as compliance roles exist in almost all sectors from government and finance to technology and the environment
* project management skills, as you’re likely to have to juggle several projects at a time.
Career prospects
The role of compliance is rapidly developing, opening up new and increasing opportunities across a range of sectors.
The rate of progression in your career as a compliance professional can be fast, with many junior compliance officers being promoted to senior officers within two to four years. Compliance managers typically have more than five years’ experience, and senior management often more than ten.
If you choose to work in a large corporate organisation, you’re likely to find that your career path is linear, where you may progress from analyst level to associate vice president to vice president. Smaller firms may use more familiar language like manager and senior manager.
Many compliance professionals move not just to more senior roles but also take side steps into other related areas. For example, from compliance, you can often move across to a career in auditing, cybersecurity or risk consulting.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
