• Reporting
• Training

We will also provide you with examples of Questionnaires, Risk Rating methods and KYC Checklists.

What attendees had to say

“We would like to thank you for the seminar you presented on implementing a Risk Management and Compliance Programme. The manual and electronic template provided to us has been extremely useful! After sharing the invaluable information and assisting us, we were able to personalise and adapt these regulations to our practice. This was a worthwhile exercise and I am so grateful I made the time to attend your workshop. Thanks for all your support and making these tasks as monotonous-free as possible for us.”

As a Masthead member, I feel at ease knowing that I belong to a professional organisation. I attended the FICA Risk Management and Compliance Programme seminar as well as the How to create an effective Operations Manual for your FSP seminar and was impressed with how every business process was covered in detail. The effort taken to produce these professional documents is impressive. If it wasn’t for Masthead, I would be at a loss and non-compliant. Thank you, Masthead team.

I found the FICA Risk Management and Compliance Programme seminar extremely beneficial. The detailed explanations of all the topics made it very easy for me to compile our FICA Risk Management and Compliance Programme.
