Continuing development at the most senior levels requires challenge, not comfort. The ICA Postgraduate Diploma is designed with this in mind - bringing together private study, reflective practice, and a series of masterclasses led by international thought leaders. Our masterclasses are structured to do three things: ✔️ Challenge established thinking ✔️ Introduce alternative perspectives ✔️ Enable practical application at a senior level One such masterclass, led by Emmet McParland, focuses on the critical relationship between data quality, management information (MI), and governance. At the heart of this session is a framework that is both simple and challenging - illustrated in the infographic below, drawn from Emmet’s teaching. Three disciplines. One dependency chain. As Emmet notes: “In financial crime compliance, governance, MI reporting, and data quality are rarely treated as an integrated system. They sit in different teams, different reporting lines, different conversations. But the failure pattern in FCA enforcement is consistent. When data quality is weak, MI cannot be trusted. When MI cannot be trusted, governance decisions are made on a flawed picture. The board believes the framework is performing. It isn’t. The dependency only becomes visible when something goes wrong — and by then, the supervisory record already exists. This framework underpins my postgraduate teaching on governance, MI reporting and data quality at the ICA. The argument is simple: you cannot have effective governance without reliable MI, and you cannot have reliable MI without sound data foundations. Greater than the sum of the parts. But only if all three are treated as connected.”

Something in the rulebook is always moving, and most teams still track it across spreadsheets, inboxes and people's heads, so every change becomes a scramble against the next deadline. A different approach is taking hold. Rather than firefighting, a growing number of compliance leaders run compliance as a system, with a clean line from horizon scanning through regulation, obligations and policies to the controls that prove them. Our partners at Zango call this compliance engineering. AI agents make it practical. An agent reads a change, traces it to the controls it touches, and keeps that mapping live as new rules land. Weak points surface in real time, with audit-ready evidence building as you go. On 23 June, ICA Vice President Tim Tyler moderates a hands-on session with Zango on building AI agents for compliance monitoring. We will work through: ✅ Assessing the impact of regulatory change on existing controls ✅ Spotting where controls are missing, or fall short of the rules ✅ Identifying duplicate controls to improve efficiency Register now: url.uk.m.mimecastprotect.com…
