The Cayman Islands Compliance Association (“CICA”) has been in existence since October 2000 as a not-for-profit organization.
The formal objectives of CICA are to:
Provide members with the information to assist with the implementation and maintenance of effective compliance and anti-money laundering programmes in their respective financial services organisation.
Provide an open forum for sharing information and training.
Identify common practices in the financial services industry and seek to raise the level of compliance in the financial services industry.
Provide a forum for discussion of new legislation or required best practice relevant to the Cayman Islands financial services industry.
Offer information on compliance and anti-money laundering issues.
The CICA scholarship initiative has existed for many years. As one of the primary objectives of the association, the scholarship is awarded to Caymanians who are seeking to develop their compliance skills and further their careers.
The scholarship provides funding for the study and examination process for the CAMS designation through ACAMS or the compliance diploma course offered by the ICA.
