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 della forza lavoro? Le best practice sono comunemente invocate, ma la taglia unica va bene per tutti? Come potete assicurarvi di essere conformi alle normative globali in conflitto e allo stesso tempo garantire il rispetto delle normative locali?
Questa conferenza è stata realizzata pensando a voi, specialisti della compliance "sul campo". È stata progettata per consentirvi di imparare dai vostri colleghi e di confrontare il vostro programma non solo con i leader mondiali, ma anche con le aziende locali più importanti. Si tratta di una conferenza imperdibile nella regione, dove incontrerete eminenti relatori provenienti dagli Emirati Arabi Uniti, dall'Arabia Saudita e da altri paesi del CCG e specialisti leader a livello mondiale.
