Global Revenue Assurance Professional Association (GRAPA) has successfully trained and certified its first member from a US Regulatory Body. Tarig Rahamtalla, Senior Financial Analyst for the Universal Service Administrative Company, recently attained his certification as a Bachelor of Revenue Assurance Regulatory Compliance at the recent GRAPA training event held in Las Vegas, USA.
“Regulators, and those who work for them, are in as much need of training as any other telecommunications professional,”
“Tarig is certainly one of the most impressive individuals to participate in GRAPA’s certification program,” said Louis Khor, GRAPA’s Director of Research and Industry Analysis, commenting on Rahamtalla’s extensive experience in finance and regulatory compliance. “By combining his wide-ranging background in finance with deep technical and practical knowledge of telecommunications systems and operations, Tarig is well-placed to ensure that regulatory thinking keeps up with the huge technological advances that telcos are involved in.”
Tarig’s achievement of certifying as a Bachelor of Revenue Assurance Regulatory Compliance involved participation in a rigorous 40-hour training program, an extensive series of exams, as well as verification of telecommunications and finance work experience. The certification is a testament to his ability to fundamentally understand and proactively implement GRAPA’s internationally ratified standards for the practice of revenue assurance.
