‘Landmark opportunity’

“We proudly welcome this landmark opportunity for the BVI,” said Chidi Liburd, Executive Director of RMI in a press release.

“Having the Vice President of the International Compliance Association join us at RMI to deliver Masterclasses not only enhances the learning opportunities available to our professionals, but also positions the Territory as a serious player in shaping the future of compliance in a rapidly changing world. This is more than training, it is capacity-building that strengthens our entire financial services ecosystem,” Liburd added.

The Robert Mathavious Institute has established itself as a leading centre for education and professional development in the Territory, offering trainings that ensure VI practitioners remain at the forefront of the international financial services industry.

The arrival of Mr Tyler, according to HLSCC, underscores RMI’s growing role as a gateway to global knowledge and innovation, and reflects the Territory’s commitment to maintaining its competitive edge in compliance and regulatory affairs.
