COURSE CURRICULUM

The Financial Services Compliance Administration program’s curriculum spans two semesters, providing students with the comprehensive knowledge and practical skills required to excel in compliance and risk management roles within Canada’s financial services industry. In the first semester, students study Anti-Money Laundering Administration, Law and Governance, Financial Services Product Knowledge, and Investment Strategies, alongside courses on project management, policies and procedures, and career development for compliance professionals. This foundation equips students with a solid understanding of regulatory requirements, governance frameworks, and essential operational skills. In the second semester, the program focuses on advanced topics such as Privacy Management and Identity Theft, Risk Management and Market Conduct, Compliance Communication and Complaints Management, Investment Strategies and Tactics, Ethics, Professional Conduct and Liability, and Regulatory Compliance Administration. These courses emphasize real-world applications, enabling students to analyze regulatory challenges, implement compliance frameworks, and respond effectively to risks. A field placement offers hands-on industry experience, allowing students to apply their learning in professional settings and develop practical competencies. Through this combination of theoretical knowledge, applied projects, and professional exposure, graduates emerge prepared to pursue careers as compliance officers, risk analysts, regulatory specialists, or other roles that require meticulous attention to legal standards, ethical practices, and risk mitigation within Canada’s dynamic financial services sector.
