Compliance Institute Southern Africa

Committees, Interest Groups and Focus Groups

Our various committees, interest groups and focus groups ensure that the needs of our members and stakeholders are identified and met and that our offerings remain relevant.

The Committee ’s role is to act on behalf of the Board and oversee all material aspects of the Institute’s financial reporting, risk management, internal control and audit functions, except those specifically related to the responsibilities of another standing committee of the Board.

The Committee’s role is to act on behalf of the Board and oversee all material Social Ethics Remuneration and Nominations (SERN) aspects of the Institute.

Read the SERN Charter.

This Steering Committee oversees and guides the FAIS Forum and all financial sector working groups that may be necessary from time to time, e.g. the COFI working group. One of the main objectives of the working groups is to provide feedback on developing / new legislation to the relevant regulator. This Steering Committee is also the 'face' of the Institute at the CISA / FSCA committee with whom we have quarterly meetings.


Education Training and Professionalism (ETP) Committee

The ETP committee ensures that the Institute's training and development programs are relevant to the challenges faced by Compliance Officers today.  



Young Professionals Steering Committee

This committee provides an opportunity for youth members to guide developments and initiatives at the Institute that are important to the young professionals. The committee oversees, inter alia, the two young professionals open days that are held every year as well as the mentoring program.  This committee also serves as a pipeline for potential future Board members. The Chairperson of this committee attends our Board meetings as part of our development of young leaders in the compliance field.
