"Keeping Financial Services Education Relevant to Industry Needs"
Financial Intelligence Programme
Develop specialist expertise in financial intelligence and financial crime.
With The Bahamas preparing for its CFATF Fifth Round Mutual Evaluation in October 2026, developing specialist expertise in financial intelligence and financial crime has never been more relevant.
The Financial Intelligence Programme (FIP) provides flexible, practitioner-focused learning for professionals working across financial crime, compliance, financial intelligence, risk and related fields.
Choose individual specialist courses to address specific professional development needs, or build your learning towards a Diploma in Financial Intelligence, the Financial Intelligence Specialist (FIS) designation, and progression to an MBA.
Delivery
Provided by Acwila Executive Education in collaboration with ManchesterCF Financial Intelligence, FIP courses are delivered online through a combination of live interactive sessions and independent study, allowing professionals to develop specialist expertise alongside their existing commitments.
Each course is delivered over 12 weeks, with six interactive online sessions and practical, applied assessment.
