Working as a self-employed contractor for the International Compliance Association marking assignment papers and final exams, both of which counted towards a candidate’s overall grade. Candidates were compliance professionals from across the world, which gave rise to very wide-ranging compliance answers. I reviewed, marked and provided feedback on these answers to the candidates. This was a rewarding part-time job which helped ensure I maintained a broad base of compliance knowledge and understanding.
