ICA and ICPAC seek with this agreement to establish an educational  and research partnership, as well as to agree on a broad cooperation and collaborations.

This protocol covers, inter alia,

  • Joint educational events and activities promoting the professionalism of compliance  officers.
  • Educational consultancy services and studies.
  • Joint participation in research and development programs (National-European- International)
  • Exchange of information and know-how on topics of common interest.

The results of the cooperation and collaboration between the two bodies may be presented  via joint release acts such as conferences-seminars, announcements, publications,  consultations and webpages.

The Institute, in its capacity as a competent authority under the Law for the Prevention and  Suppression of Money Laundering Activities, is committed to the effective and qualitative  professional training for its members, availing to them at the same time all necessary tools  in order to perform their tasks in the best possible way.
