NSCP Testing
NSCP is the only nonprofit professional association representing the compliance professional exclusively. The organization serves its members and the industry through education and information. Since our founding in 1987, our membership has grown to over 1,700 in number and spans from broker-dealers, investment advisers, bank and insurance firms, to law and accounting firms. NSCP offers practical and interpretive guidance on compliance-related matters; alerts its members to important regulatory developments; sponsors educational meetings that serve as forums for exchanging ideas and information; provides professional analyses and counsel in regard to securities laws and regulations authorized by the states, federal agencies and the self-regulatory agencies (e.g. FINRA); and promotes professionalism among compliance officials within the securities industry.
