Saluting our Scholarship Recipients
The BVI Association of Compliance Officers and Practitioners (BVIACO) is a not for profit registered association, which through profits garnered from its annual Compliance conference seeks to promote professional development programmes in the BVI. This includes creating opportunities for other training seminars and workshops and more importantly, facilitates the Association’s scholarship program.
The establishment of a scholarship program, which honours the Association’s first Chairman, in the name of the late Mrs. Harriette Skelton, seeks to provide industry professionals who have an interest in, and who are desirous of building their careers in Compliance, the opportunity to participate in programmes to advance their understanding, skillset, and expertise in the field. Since its inception, the Harriette Skelton Scholarship programme has seen indisputable success, some of which will be highlighted in this article.

He is now an ICA certified Member, having earned the designation, MICA, who is internationally recognized as a qualified Compliance professional. Today, we celebrate with him for completing this great achievement.
- Successful completion of Introduction to Compliance Certificate at FSI and ICA Advanced Certificate in Regulatory Compliance
We extend our congratulations to Taniese Clarke, the 2019 recipient of the Harriette Skelton Scholarship, on successfully completing not one but two courses in her career journey in Compliance. Taniese achieved her first milestone in successfully completing the Introduction to Compliance course at the then HLSCC Financial Services Institute (FSI) now renamed the Dr. Robert Mathavious Institute (RMI). With a clear direction, she continued straight away to the advanced certificate course, the next level in the program.
In June 2021, Taniese received the exciting news of her successful completion of the ICA Advanced certificate course in Regulatory Compliance. She is committed to advancing her level of expertise in the field and BVIACO was honoured to be able to provide her with this opportunity. As she continues to pursue her educational ambitions in the field, we celebrate her current successes and look forward to saluting her on future achievements.
