It focuses on the development, training, and accreditation of compliance management members, serving to strengthen the industry. CISA is dedicated to setting, maintaining, and promoting the best practice standards for compliance law in South Africa. An understanding of and adherence to these standards has global application for any compliance professional.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\n            <!-- Responsive picture tag -->\n        <picture class=\"picture-block\">\n            <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ci_logo_high_ls-scaled.jpg\" >\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/ci_logo_high-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h3>What does CISA mean for your compliance career?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CISA membership can be an important step in any compliance professional\u2019s career. It grants access to a wide network of top compliance officers and unlocks a range of benefits that can help set you apart. CISA endorses both the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/courses\/za\/uct-compliance-essentials-online-short-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Compliance Essentials<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/courses\/za\/compliance-management-online-short-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Compliance Management<\/a> online short courses from the University of Cape Town (UCT). This CISA endorsement offers students on each online short course a host of key advantages, including student membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What are the benefits of CISA student membership?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a CISA student member, you gain access to the Generally Accepted Compliance Practice (GACP) framework \u2013 a set of principles, standards, and guidelines developed by CISA that act as the benchmark for compliance management best practice in business. You\u2019ll also be kept up-to-date on compliance course conferences and training opportunities, and receive discounted rates for a host of forums, workshops, and seminars that can help boost your compliance management techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Gain a one-year CISA student membership per course \u2013 free of charge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you register as a student for one of the UCT compliance online short courses, you\u2019ll be eligible for student membership of CISA. The best part? The one-year membership fee is waived, meaning you won\u2019t have to pay for your student CISA membership for that year. If you choose to complete both UCT compliance courses in one year, you\u2019ll be granted a two-year CISA student membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Take a course and qualify for CPD hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By completing one of the UCT compliance online short courses, you\u2019ll also qualify for 15 Continuous Professional Development (CPD) hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curious
