"Kultur er bedre end compliance" er et velkendt ordsprog, men det har ingen betydning for tilsynsmyndighederne. Så hvordan opbygger man ikke bare førende compliance-programmer, men sikrer også, at de bliver taget i brug, og at medarbejderne bakker op om dem? Bedste praksis er almindeligt efterspurgt, men passer én størrelse til alle? Hvordan kan du sikre, at du overholder modstridende globale regler, samtidig med at du sikrer, at lokale regler også overholdes?
Denne konference er udviklet med tanke på dig, der er compliance-specialist "i marken". Den er designet til at give dig mulighed for at lære af dine kolleger og benchmarke dit program med ikke bare de globale ledere, men også med lokale fremtrædende virksomheder. Dette er den konference i regionen, du skal deltage i, hvor du vil møde fremtrædende talere fra De Forenede Arabiske Emirater, Saudi-Arabien samt andre GCC-lande og førende globale specialister, og vi ser frem til at møde dig.
