KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 18 (Bernama) -- LRN Corporation, global leader in ethics and compliance (E&C) solutions, announced that 47 of its courses have been accredited by the Institute of Banking and Finance Singapore (IBF).

The IBF, Singapore’s national accreditation and certification agency for financial industry competency, under the Skills Framework for Financial Service, aims to foster and develop professional competency across the financial services sector.

LRN Global Head of Segments Matt Plass said receiving IBF accreditation was critically important to ensuring that it can offer the most robust, flexible and relevant training available to financial industry professionals in Singapore.

Among the many topics addressed by the English-language courses are anti-money laundering, code of conduct, information security, anti-bribery and corruption, fraud and financial crime prevention, and Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act.

Completion of any of the accredited LRN courses will count toward the mandatory annual requirements for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), as stipulated by the IBF, according to a statement.

The available courses have been specifically designed to cover 11 different risk areas, which have been tailored to the needs of Singapore financial institutions, also leveraging the latest in e-learning design and user experience, a hallmark of LRN’s approach to ethics and compliance learning.
