You need to be ready. Canadian financial institutions face an increasingly complex regulatory web as regulators in Canada and globally are imposing greater pressures to assess, monitor and mitigate regulatory and operational risks.

In addition to staying compliant, today’s financial institutions need to keep up with new regulations, deal with new issues – including those created by remote work and emerging technologies – and manage the human resources and technological requirements to get the job done. The speed of change is rapid and the demands are increasing.

Designed by a select group of industry leaders, this unique and intensive Osgoode certificate will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of crucial regulatory compliance requirements, the intersection of compliance and enterprise risk management in financial services and the practical strategies you need to meet them.

Over five modules, you will learn from industry experts and major regulators and get the practical knowledge and skills you need to effectively assess, monitor and mitigate regulatory and operational risks. With a focus on real-world examples, you will take your learning to the next level and emerge equipped with the most up-to-date knowledge, tools and tactics you need to develop, implement or re-energize a state-of-the-art compliance program, along with insights into rapidly evolving compliance issues and trends.

Registration includes 120-day unlimited, online access to the recorded program.
