AML, Financial Crime and Sanctions Compliance for Banking and Finance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 12 – 13 May 2026

"Kultur slår compliance" er en velkendt talemåde, men den har ingen vægt over for tilsynsmyndighederne. Så hvordan opbygger du ikke bare førende compliance-programmer, men sikrer også, at dine kolleger tager dem til sig og køber dem? For at citere Tomell Da Silva fra The Middle East and Africa Compliance Association: "Du har måske den rigtige 'tone fra toppen', men hvad med 'stemningen i midten' og 'Groove on the ground'"?

Our Sanctions, AML and CFT for Banking and Finance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is the one place where you, as a local compliance specialist, can find a way through. Designed as the definitive gathering for local compliance specialists. In a rapidly evolving regulatory environment, this is the one essential place where you will gain the clarity and practical strategies needed to confidently navigate complex mandates.

Join us to delve into actionable solutions, expert insights, and collaborative discussions focused on embedding a pervasive culture of compliance that resonates from leadership to the front lines, empowering you to meet and exceed KSA’s stringent regulatory expectations.
