WG53 - Methodological guidelines for Compliance Officers

​

In today’s landscape, financial institutions (Banks, Investment Firms, Management Companies…etc) are required to exhibit robust governance over their compliance risks. This necessitates the establishment of a transparent and effective process for identifying, assessing and monitoring risks, commonly referred to as a risk-based compliance monitoring program. In this context, the objective is to gain insight into prevailing market practices and developing a suitable conceptual framework, with specific focus on compliance risk assessment and monitoring activities. Member participation from the financial sector, affiliated with banks, investment firms and management companies, who specialise in compliance and responsible for overseeing compliance monitoring activities, supports us in gaining an understanding of the various existing frameworks within the financial industry, discuss and propose a paper that explores the key trends and future perspective of a robust framework, and collaborate in defining a common conceptual compliance framework for risk assessment and monitoring activities.
