What is a Certificate of Achievement?
Upon completing a certain number of courses in a specified discipline, students will receive a certificate of achievement from Cambridge College as recognition of their training achievement. These programs are designed to be completed relatively quickly and increase the student’s marketability by demonstrating to employers that they have developed or improved skills in these focused areas. The courses may also be transferable to related Cambridge College degree programs, reducing the amount of time required to obtain a degree. A certificate of achievement is not a formal academic credential and is not eligible for Title IV financial aid.
Course Curriculum
The Certificate of Achievement in Compliance and Ethics includes three graduate-level courses that focus on the efficiency and effectiveness of the development and implementation of corporate compliance and ethics.
Regulation and Regulators
This course is designed to provide a broad understanding of the philosophy, history, and context of regulations and regulatory agencies within various industries, including but not limited to financial services, healthcare, and human resources. Students will evaluate and assess the external role of the compliance process, including federal, state, and local regulatory agencies. Students will study the complex regulatory environment that has recently grown to safeguard the public’s personal information and prevent abuse within various industries.
Governance, Ethics, and Compliance
This course aims to provide students with a basic understanding of corporate governance as a term and as a practice involving relations between a firm’s executive leadership, its governing board, and its stakeholders. The course explores various governance models practiced in the US, including both for-profit and non-profit, and looks at the role and responsibilities of each of the parties in these relationships both as set down in the legal code and as suggested by current best practice. The role of various board committees will also be discussed, along with their relationships with regulatory agencies such as the SEC. A fundamental part of the course is a discussion of the ‘purpose of a corporation’ and of the various perspectives held by prominent thought leaders in the US on this subject. The course will also look at changes made in board practices following the Sarbanes Oxley legislation in 2002 and at recent trends in corporate governance.
Enterprise Risk Management
The purpose of this course is to understand the broad overview and perspective of risk management and both its theoretical and practical applications to corporate compliance issues, policies, and procedures. The course seeks to put Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance in context by providing an introduction and foundation to risk management.
