Exchange Day Two - June 14

3:00 PM INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION - How can you ensure your Anti-Financial Crime / Compliance group is considered a business enabler within your organisation?

A coherent FinCrime risk management structure is a critical part of any financial institutions’ ongoing operations. However, the compliance / anti-financial crime function can be seen as something of an afterthought, which is not included in key business decisions, therefore limiting the impact it can have. This session will focus on how to change this positioning, and will delve into:

 

  • How can you work with the business to ensure the needs – and concerns – of the FCC groups are central to broader decision making within your organisation?
  • Maintaining relationships with the first line and across the organisation; what strategies can you employ to ensure they view you as a business enabler?
  • Going beyond “tone from the top” – gaining support from the executive level in closed door meetings as well as in public, in the face of typical growth pressures
