Virtual Workshop on Effectively Managing the Compliance Function
Professional Training Programs
Fintelekt Advisory Services and the Asian Bankers Association will jointly organise a comprehensive virtual workshop on Effectively Managing the Compliance Function.
In this workshop we will consider the multi-faceted role of the compliance function and what is required for its success.
Some areas that we will cover include:
- The scope of the compliance function– whether it is purely about complying with regulation, or if it extends beyond that; the overlap with areas such as governance, risk, sustainability, etc and why the positioning of compliance within the organisation is fundamental to its success.
- The purpose and value of compliance, and how to improve the dialogue to increase support and collaboration.
- The key elements of an effective compliance programme, including the culture of compliance as a foundational pillar and enabler.
- Who is responsible and accountable for compliance.
We will refer to practical examples and case studies to bring the content to life and encourage reflection and discussion amongst participants.
