CHSPS — Commission for Health, Safety & Professional Standards
Business, Finance & Governance

Finance, Banking, Accounting & Insurance

Financial-services credentials, compliance education and AI governance in finance.

Sector overview

Financial services rely on credentials and mandatory training for advice, compliance and risk roles, and increasingly on AI in underwriting, fraud and customer decisions. CHSPS can review financial-services certification programs, compliance and continuing education, assessment-based certificates, and the governance of consequential AI. It does not accredit financial institutions or their products.

How applicability is assessed

  1. Describe what you operate. The program, credential, education offering or system — not just your sector.
  2. CHSPS confirms pathway and scope in writing. The free eligibility review records exactly what would be reviewed and what is excluded.
  3. Only an independent decision creates accreditation. Listing here, inquiry, payment or evidence submission does not.
