In today’s complex world, financial institutions are among the so-called gatekeepers of the financial system. While the business is primarily responsible for compliance, the board of supervisory directors is ultimately responsible for the integrity of the business practices and they must carefully guard that integrity. Complying with the externally mandated laws and the internal company regulations is therefore an important priority for the board of directors and the board of supervisory directors. Therefore, in order to assure the integrity of the business enterprise, the institutions should adequately understand the risks associated with their operations, which could be in contravention of the law and/or just not in accordance with acceptable social behavior. This is necessary to safeguard the public’s trust not only in the specific institution but also in the financial system in general.

Voor wie is deze training?

The workshop is meant for directors and future directors, supervisory directors and compliance managers of banks, insurance companies, pension funds, lawyers, accountants, etc.

The primary goal of this course is the detection and management of integrity risks, such as fraud, money laundering and corruption. In separate workshops, attention will be given to culture and behavior, to the risk of fraud, money laundering and corruption committed by individuals; to the current developments in the legislation regarding supervision and the obligation to carry out a systematic analysis of the integrity risks. At the conclusion of the program, attention will be paid to “lessons learned’, where recent compliance problems will be discussed.
