There's never been a greater need for a well recognized, comprehensive international compliance credential.

In response, the Association of International Bank Auditors (AIBA) and the Lubin School of Business at Pace University have created a joint six-month premier certificate program for bank compliance professionals, the Certified Compliance and Regulatory Professional (CCRP®). Classes will be held on Thursday evenings beginning February 28, 2013 through June 27, 2013, at Pace University's Midtown Center in the historic Fred French Building.

[CCRP testimonial from Edgar Guzman]
  "The Pace CCRP class was of true value, especially Professor James and his experience as a management consultant domestically and abroad. Professor Lewis's background in the legal aspects of regulation and compliance were insightful, but the guest speakers and their real-world experience made the program comprehensive and an instrumental part of enhancing our knowledge."
  - Edgar Guzman, consultant
