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