Sanctions, AML and CFT for Banking and Finance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 21-22 of October 2025
Cultura batte Compliance" è una massima ben nota, ma non ha alcun peso presso le autorità di regolamentazione. Quindi, come si fa non solo a costruire programmi di compliance all'avanguardia, ma anche a garantirne l'adozione e il coinvolgimento da parte dei colleghi? Per citare Tomell Da Silva della Middle East and Africa Compliance Association, "si può avere il giusto 'tono dall'alto', ma che dire del 'mood' al centro e del 'groove' sul campo"?
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.
