“Due to the vast geographic area and the small number of compliance officers out in Western Canada, the ACCP has been a tremendous resource for me personally. Being part of the ACCP and having the ability to network with other Compliance Officers, we’re all able to help each other navigate our ever-changing regulatory horizon. Sometimes, knowledge and experience cannot be gained from textbooks.”
