TOP REVIEWS FROM WHAT IS COMPLIANCE?
Great way to begin understanding compliance at a basic level which leads into the other three courses in the specialization.
This is an excellent course. I can broaden my expertise, particularly in terms of organizational and corporate compliance. Many thanks to Coursera.
This course is a good start for anyone looking to transition to Compliance domain. Good real-life examples have been used to describe various aspects of compliance.
This course is extremely important to the creation of an accountable culture in the economy and I feel it is highly worth taking. I am looking forward to the other 3 in the series.
