The US, UK, EU and now China have far reaching export controls, sanctions and anti-corruption initiatives, match this with developing local regulations within the Kingdom and you have a perfect storm of compliance to navigate through. Our Sanctions, Anti-Corruption & Export Controls Compliance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia conference is the one place where you, as a local compliance specialist, can find a way through.
‘Culture beats Compliance’ is well known maxim but carries no weight with Regulators. So how do you not only build leading compliance programs but also ensure their take up and the buy in of the workforce ?To quote ‘Tomell Da Silva of The Middle East and Africa Compliance Association ”you may have the right ‘Tone from the top’ but what about the ‘Mood in the middle’ and the ‘Groove on the ground” ?
Best Practice is commonly called for but does one size fit all ? How can you ensure you are compliant with conflicting international regulations at the same time as ensuring local regulations are adhered too?
This conference has been produced with you the compliance specialist ‘on the ground’ in mind. It is designed specifically for those in industry to allow you to learn from your peers and benchmark your program with not only the global leaders but also with local prominent companies from within the Kingdom. This is the must attend conference in the region where you will interact in an intimate, open and candid setting with eminent speakers from The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as other GCC and leading global specialists, we look forward to meeting you.
