Course Overview

The Global Regulatory Compliance & Tax Transparency Program: AEOI, FATCA & CRS offered by Pideya Learning Academy is designed to address the growing complexity of international tax compliance and transparency. In today’s interconnected financial world, governments and regulatory bodies are strengthening measures to combat tax evasion, protect revenue bases, and promote financial integrity. Key initiatives such as the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI), the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), and Exchange of Information on Request (EOIR) have become global benchmarks for financial institutions and multinational organizations.

This course equips participants with a deep understanding of these frameworks and the competencies needed to navigate the evolving compliance landscape. According to the OECD, over 120 jurisdictions have committed to CRS, enabling the exchange of information on more than 123 million financial accounts, representing assets exceeding €12 trillion globally. Similarly, FATCA has fundamentally reshaped cross-border reporting for U.S. persons and entities, requiring financial institutions worldwide to enhance their due diligence and reporting capabilities. These global initiatives highlight the critical importance of accurate compliance programs to mitigate regulatory risk, reputational damage, and financial penalties.

Participants will explore key compliance requirements, master reporting obligations, and learn to design robust governance structures. The program emphasizes risk management strategies, internal control mechanisms, and effective data exchange processes. Through real-world case scenarios, participants gain insights into global best practices and the strategic alignment of compliance initiatives with institutional objectives.

Key highlights seamlessly integrated into the program include:

  • In-depth analysis of AEOI, FATCA, and CRS frameworks to ensure a comprehensive understanding of international requirements
  • Step-by-step guidance for implementing compliance programs across financial institutions

  • Global case studies and peer-reviewed strategies for strengthening due diligence processes
