AML, Financial Crime and Sanctions Compliance for Banking and Finance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 12 – 13 May 2026
Culture beats Compliance' is een welbekende spreuk, maar weegt niet op tegen de regelgevers. Dus hoe bouw je niet alleen toonaangevende complianceprogramma's op, maar zorg je er ook voor dat ze door je collega's worden opgepikt en overgenomen? Om Tomell Da Silva van de Middle East and Africa Compliance Association te citeren: "Je mag dan wel de juiste 'Tone from the top' hebben, maar hoe zit het met de 'Mood in the middle' en de 'Groove on the ground'?...
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.
