The vision of the ICA is the global professionalisation of compliance and risk. ICA believes that the important roles that both regulators and practitioners fulfil, merits them having a professional qualification in order for them to practice, in much the same way as a lawyer or accountant is required to do. The management of regulatory risk demands as such and in the pursuit of this vision ICA works with like-minded partners in the sharing of information and best practice, delivering qualifications, setting standards and research.
