March 3 - 5, 2008 Charleston, South Carolina	Registration Information
Certification Intensive Course The Health Ethics Trust’s Certified Compliance Professional (CCP) credential is designed to provide compliance professionals with the broad based, recognized certification that they need. This is no Johnny-come-lately made-up credential – It is the first in the business. There is a convenient and cost effective way attain certification. Those who complete the course will have satisfied all course requirements for the Trust’s CCP credential. Our certification efforts began before other folks could spell ‘compliance’. Our credentialing programs continues to grow within its basic assumptions: Individuals of many backgrounds (law, ethics, accounting, audit, theology, business, military command) have proven to be effective compliance officers. This diversity is a positive attribute of the field. Certification should be objective, independent and in the best interests of compliance itself. Certification has both educational and experiential components. Many professional organizations offer courses that should count towards certification. A grounding in ethics and integrity is essential to success. The Charleston Intensive Course will include a faculty of compliance professionals and experts who have proven themselves as presenters in prior courses.
