As Chief Compliance Officer, member of the compliance function or conducting officer, or responsible for compliance within a management company, professionals are identified as a key function holder and part of the 2nd line of defence, and therefore a key component of the company's internal control framework.
Their tasks and responsibilities are broad and ever-growing in terms of the number of regulatory requirements to cover. That being said, it is key to have a clear view on what is expected from both a regulatory and internal perspective.
It is essential to position themselves in the organisation, knowing the reporting lines, the interaction with the different stakeholders, the tools and methodologies available to perform their day-to-day tasks and controls. This will allow them to focus on the business as usual activities in terms of performing controls and being the advisor for management and for their peers.
Due to our expertise concerning the tasks and responsibilities of the compliance functions, not only from a regulatory point of view, but also from a practical perspective, we would like to share our experience and to enable participants to be ready for their day-to-day role.
