Overview of the webinar
Creating a culture of compliance is an important risk management strategy. Recent corporate collapses have reflected the need for good corporate governance and an effective compliance program is an integral part of this structure. This introduction to Compliance Management provides a blueprint for compliance professionals to follow to ensure that the risk profile in his/her organization is limited by a thorough understanding of the individual regulatory environment.
Today in all financial markets, a formal compliance management system is a requirement. Beyond the regulatory requirements, compliance management has become a cornerstone of the principles of good corporate governance.
The past two decades has seen massive cases of financial miss-reporting, corruption, fraud, money-laundering and other ethical lapses. Names of firms like Enron, WorldCom, Xerox, Siemens, and now Wirecard come to mind.
The pressures on financial institutions and corporations to more transparently manage their compliance exposures have increased many times over.
