As businesses grow and technology develops, the world is seeing increased levels of regulatory risk. This has led to the adoption of more stringent standards and regulations, which are increasingly changing how organizations manage their operations. The compliance function of an organization has never been more important, as it now needs to proactively govern everything from internal policies to employee behavior.

The University of Cape Town (UCT) Compliance Management online short course teaches you the skills to create a culture of ethical compliance in your organization. Over eight modules, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of compliance risk analysis and management that can be applied to your own context. Ensure the long-term sustainability of your business by adhering to regulations, implementing policies, and developing a strategic approach to managing compliance risk.

After completing this course, you’ll receive a one-year student membership to the Compliance Institute Southern Africa (CISA). Should you complete both UCT compliance online short courses offered by GetSmarter, within a one-year period, you’ll then get a two-year CISA membership.

This course is suitable for professionals who work in corporate governance, compliance management, or a related field, and intend to apply compliance principles to their own organizations. It would also benefit those looking to enhance their existing knowledge and skills to move into a strategic role within their compliance team. Existing compliance professionals will be able to validate, refine, and develop their current skill set. It is also ideal for business leaders looking for an advanced set of skills to augment their legal, risk management, and compliance knowledge in order to assist their compliance team and improve company performance.
