“With its 78,000 members, RCA efforts have a powerful impact…The RCA’s CCE® (Continuing Compliance Education) and their CRC™ (Chartered Regulatory Counsel)™ professional examination for alternative investment and asset management firms is important and I commend its efforts.”
JD, Commissioner, SEC (Former)
“In a time of great regulatory change and uncertainty, RCA provides the only, broad-based, accredited curriculum for executives in the asset management sector. The RCA’s CCE® (Continuing Compliance Education) keep executives abreast of developments that have profound implications for their business strategy and organization, as well as for their own personal careers.”
“RCA’s CRC™ (Chartered Regulatory Counsel)™ professional examination and its Executive LLM and Masters of Science in Regulation and Compliance are essential for executives in alternative investment and asset management space. The RCA collected the top experts to deliver the only graduate-level education to industry professionals…beyond the horizon. They are the best.”
“I very much enjoy participating on the faculty for the RCA’s CCE® (Continuing Compliance Education), Executive LLM and Masters of Science and professional examinations. The curriculum is the most topical and the faculty is excellent.”
Mark Polemeni, JD, CCO, CCO & Associate GC, Perella Weinberg
“The RCA continues to distinguish itself by offering CCE® (Continuing Compliance Education), executive degrees and professional exams that feature the leading authorities of our industry as well as government officials that are shaping the policies of tomorrow.”
“The RCA’s Executive LLM and Masters of Science in Regulation and Compliance as well as CRC (Chartered Regulatory Compliance™) professional examination are light years better than the Wharton Program – especially the highly practical content. RCA courses dive into what compliance officers do on a daily basis…it is the go-to resource.”
“No organization contributes more to the intelligent and efficient operation of this nation’s capital markets than the RCA. The scope, diversity and quality of their programs is extraordinary. No one does as much as this organization does and no one does it quite so well. The RCA’s broad membership includes alternative investment and asset management firms, lawyers and government regulators from around the globe. Many old friends from the SEC and the CFTC use their curricula and certification programs.Their recognition of the RCA is a testament to the importance of this organization and to the quality and effectiveness of the work that it does.”
“I attend or speak at RCA CCE® (Continuing Compliance Education)® programs because there are a serious number of our clients there and a serious number of Seward and Kissel alumni.”
