About Us
The International Examination & Certification Board (IECB) is an organisation which provides education and certification within the area of Governance, Risk & Compliance.
We help professionals gain the necessary competence to fill the various roles required by the industry, by providing them with effective education, and certification aligned to a range of international best practice standards. With a focus on the solution and not just the problem of Compliance, we provide real world answers to the question businesses ask time and time again – “What does Compliance mean to us?”
