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

Kulttuuri voittaa sääntöjen noudattamisen" on tunnettu sanonta, mutta sillä ei ole painoarvoa sääntelyviranomaisten keskuudessa. Miten siis ei pelkästään rakenneta johtavia sääntöjen noudattamista koskevia ohjelmia, vaan myös varmistetaan, että kollegat ottavat ne käyttöön ja sitoutuvat niihin? Lainatakseni Tomell Da Silvaa The Middle East and Africa Compliance Associationin edustajasta: "Voi olla, että ylhäältä käsin on oikea sävy, mutta entä tunnelma keskellä" ja "Groove kentällä"?...?
