Using IBD Acronym in a cover letter?

On the listing for an investment banking division compliance analyst job on my school's OCR website, the listing uses IBD Compliance after writing it out once. Should I do the same in my cover letter or just write it out throughout the letter?

Thanks in advance.

Personally, I'd do this the first time: "Investment Banking Division Compliance ("IBD Compliance")"; then this thereafter: "IBD Compliance". Just my $.02 and style though.

This doesn't seem right. It's not a paper its a resume
