Risk, Compliance and AMLPolicy Writing and Development
Policies that are poorly structured or written in dense legalistic language are ignored, misapplied or quietly worked around by staff. This course builds the core craft of policy writing, teaching a repeatable structure, plain language drafting techniques and a stakeholder consultation process that produces policies people can actually understand and follow, whether in a corporate, government or nonprofit setting.

- Draft policy statements in plain, unambiguous language
- Distinguish policy from procedure, guideline and standard, and use each correctly
