Sanctions, AML et CFT pour la banque et la finance dans le Royaume d'Arabie Saoudite, 21 - 22 octobre 2025
Sanctions, AML and CFT for Banking and Finance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 21-22 of October 2025
La culture bat la conformité" est une maxime bien connue, mais elle n'a aucun poids auprès des régulateurs. Alors, comment non seulement mettre en place des programmes de conformité de premier plan, mais aussi s'assurer de leur adoption et de leur adhésion par vos collègues ? Pour citer Tomell Da Silva, de l'Association de conformité pour le Moyen-Orient et l'Afrique, " vous pouvez avoir le bon " ton " au sommet, mais qu'en est-il de " l'humeur au milieu " et du " groove sur le terrain " ?
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.
