DESCRIPTION


Gouvernance - Fit & Proper - Criminal liability - New matters & regulatory expectations - Build a successful compliance career & Much More!


While their mission is to safeguard the integrity of their institutions, Compliance Professionals often find themselves in legally complex situations, balancing accountability, independence, and institutional expectations.


The Compliance Lunch Debate themed "Compliance Under Transformation – Balancing Innovation and Responsibility" will provide a unique chance to tackle unexplored questions that are often overlooked, offering valuable insights into compliance challenges rarely discussed elsewhere.


This special extended edition will offer a broader discussion on the governance and organization of the compliance function, addressing key challenges such as the independence dilemma and the feasibility of combining control functionswith board membership. It will also explore the increasing outsourcing of compliance roles and the complexities of cross-border situations. Compliance professionals must navigate criminal liability risks, questioning whether they, their teams, and external experts are truly protected or more vulnerable than expected. The event will also cover Fit & Proper requirements, disciplinary risks, and evolving regulatory expectations. AI’s impact on compliance will be explored, addressing new responsibilities, key challenges, and new risk management strategies. Career experiences, salary trends, and the crucial role of soft skills in professional growth will also be discussed.
