Knowledge of strategic and non-financial risks is becoming increasingly important for banks, insurers and corporates in Curaçao, Aruba, St. Maarten, Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba, as a result of an increasingly turbulent global environment. Therefore, more and more is expected of the Compliance Professional working in this region. In order to provide an academic basis for the compliance function, the UvA Academy for Banking and Insurance has set up a postgraduate chartered program in collaboration with Compliance Caribbean.
This training course covers new insights and developments in the field of financial and non-financial risk management. In addition to knowledge, attention will also be paid to skills that a compliance professional must have.
The training course consists of 4 modules:
Module 1: Integral environmental and risk analysis (4 half-days)
Module 2: Legislation and supervision (4 half-days)
Module 3: Organizational Behavior and Culture (2 half-days)
Module 4: Monitoring plan or 24-month plan (2 half-days)
One part of the day consists of 4 hours.
The program Certified Compliance Professional Caribbean is intended for the compliance professional working in Curaçao, Aruba, St. Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba with at least 4 years of relevant work experience.
An intake is held with each candidate to align wishes and expectations. A good intake ensures that there will be a homogeneous group of participants who want to learn and strive to successfully complete the training. This also requires commitment from the participant's employer.
Participants make practical assignments for each meeting. The intention is that participants first examine their own work situation and deal with issues with the provided explanation and the comments of the lecturer. In the process participants come to new insights that they can apply directly in their own practice. Participants conclude the training by defending a thesis. This thesis is a 24-month plan or monitoring plan written for their organization.
After successfully completing the programme, the participant will receive the UvA diploma and will be registered in the Register of Certified Compliance Professional Caribbean.
The successful completion of the training course Certified Compliance Professional Caribbean Course (assessment sufficient or cum laude) results in the private law protected title: Certified Compliance Professional Caribbean (title CCPC). The register will open on 1 July 2023.
The register training (reference work, ppts and manual) is in English while the meetings are provided in English or in Dutch depending on the group of participants.
In total there will be 12 meetings with a maximum of 16 participants. The meetings take place via Microsoft Teams between 8 am and 12pm (local time Curaçao AST). There are 2-3 weeks between each meeting. The study load for each meeting is approximately 16 preparation hours and 4 contact hours. The total study load is approximately 300 hours (including 60 hours of preparation for the exam).
