Overview

ISO 37301 CCP™ is the compliance management certification appropriate for managers at every level, including top management at the officer and vice president level. This certification validates competence and understanding for developing and managing a custom risk-based compliance program and methodology based upon the ISO Compliance Management System framework.

Upon completion of this training and certificate program, you will:

• be equipped with knowledge and skills required to develop, manage, monitor, and improve a Compliance Management System in line with the ISO 37301 standard of best practices;
• expand your compliance management competency;
• increase your credibility through gaining international recognition; and
• improve your résumé and increasing your earning potential.

Developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization in 2021, ISO 37301 provides guidance for establishing, developing, implementing, evaluating, maintaining and improving an effective and responsive risk-based compliance management system within an organization. The guidelines on compliance management systems are applicable to all types of organizations. The extent of the application of these guidelines depends on the size, structure, nature and complexity of the organization. ISO 37301:2021 is based on the principles of good governance, proportionality, transparency and sustainability.

Managing compliance goes beyond the mere satisfaction of legal requirements. Compliance is also related to meeting the needs and expectations of a wide range of stakeholders. Therefore, making sound choices and setting priorities appropriately is an important part of effective compliance management. ISO 37301 takes a risk-based approach to compliance management. As a result, it aligns with ISO 31000 Risk Management – Principles and guidelines, which according to ISO, “provides principles, framework and a process for managing risk.” In conjunction with ISO Standard 31000 (Enterprise Risk Management), ISO 37301 is used to establish a formal enterprise wide management system for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) that will effectively and measurably  improve organizational performance. Since such a program is designed and operated to well-recognized international standards of best practices for GRC, the organization also achieves greater confidence and respect among stakeholders including investors, lenders, regulators, suppliers, customers, and trading partners just to name a few.
