I have attended lectures, seminars, trainings and workshops before but nothing compared to your training, which was by far the most useful, thought provoking, engaging and memorable.
An open forum where operatives, regulators and representatives share their opinions - it helps us in strategising from the private sector.
The examples used were very pragmatic. The course was easy to follow and very inspirational.
I really wish that there were three years of Financial Services Institute learning and one month of university learning instead of the contrary in my case.
You learn about financial crime matters from experts in the industry. You enjoy the participation and bonding.
I have been in compliance for more than 20 years now and even then, it has been a very practical exercise. You understand all the compliance aspects of all industries.
