March 16, 2009 - PRLog -- The International Association of Risk and Compliance Professionals (IARCP) and JZ Partners Limited have partnered to offer training and certification to individuals in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and Macau, focused on areas of concern and change in the current financial downturn.

Professionals looking to advance their skills and knowledge in key risk and compliance areas can now join regularly scheduled courses in Hong Kong. The courses provide coverage of important financial regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II, their impact in Asia and direction in the current economic environment.

IARCP offers a valuable opportunity to enhance an individual's career potential and prospects for employment. As well as comprehensive training attendees benefit from:

   * Membership of the association. This provides an ongoing way to stay up to date with changing regulations.
   * Certification in risk and compliance management. Following the course attendees will be able to obtain the Certified Risk and Compliance Professional (CRCP) certification. This is a valuable way to prove abilities as their career progresses.


Zac Hinton, managing partner of JZ Partners in Hong Kong says "In these uncertain times, companies are increasingly looking to manage their risk effectively. The courses and certification we are providing in Hong Kong gives professionals working in, or with desire to move into, risk and compliance a real chance to demonstrate their ability to add value."

Courses are held in Hong Kong, and with strong relevance across Asia they are also popular for practitioners in neighbouring regions. The next courses are scheduled for April 13th-17th 2009 and May 11th-15th 2009 in Hong Kong.
