Diploma in Financial Regulation & Compliance
Overview
The AGRC Diploma in Financial Regulation & Compliance equips professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to address regulatory obligations across traditional financial services, sustainable finance and digital assets. The programme combines four AGRC certificates in Compliance, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), ESG Principles & Standards, and European Cryptoassets Compliance.
Through these complementary areas, participants develop an understanding of how financial institutions translate regulatory requirements into effective compliance programmes, prevent financial crime, respond to sustainability expectations and manage the challenges of cryptoasset activities.
The Compliance component explores regulatory frameworks, the responsibilities of the compliance function, internal controls, monitoring and ethical business conduct. The AML component examines financial-crime risks, customer due diligence, risk-based approaches, sanctions and reporting procedures.
ESG Principles & Standards introduces the environmental, social and governance considerations shaping responsible business practices, investment decisions and sustainability reporting. European Cryptoassets Compliance explores blockchain and cryptoassets, the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), service-provider obligations and the controls needed to support compliant digital-asset operations.
Case studies and practical examples help participants connect these subjects and apply their learning to the regulatory challenges faced by financial institutions and other regulated businesses.
This diploma is suitable for compliance officers, AML specialists, regulatory professionals, sustainability practitioners and professionals working in banking, investment services, fintech and cryptoasset businesses. It also supports graduates and individuals seeking to develop a career in financial regulation and compliance.
By completing the programme and passing the four component examinations, participants earn the individual AGRC certificates and the AGRC Diploma in Financial Regulation & Compliance. The qualification provides a professional foundation for supporting regulatory adherence, financial integrity, responsible business conduct and compliant financial innovation.
For more detailed learning, participants can explore each component certificate individually, including the AGRC Certificate in Compliance, AGRC Certificate in AML, AGRC Certificate in ESG Principles & Standards and AGRC Certificate in European Cryptoassets Compliance.
