Direct support to your Compliance function

Regulatory framework

The Chief Compliance Officer and the compliance function at Banks and PFS are bombarded with an ever growing number of regulatory requirements. As a result, numerous highly distinctive topics need to be treated on a daily basis - reaching from AML, MiFID II monitoring, regulatory reporting (a.o MiFID reporting, EMIR, CSDR) to governance and tax topics (FATCA, QI, CRS). At the same time, the impact of non-compliance is increasing. Thanks to our expertise and knowledge of the banking and PFS industries, we can provide your compliance function with support to anticipate, identify and assess the compliance risks of your institution, help mitigate these risks and ensure that you remain compliant with any up-coming regulatory requirements. 

Regulatory matters

The compliance function is involved in matters related to the following:

  • AML/CFT including predicate tax offences; 
  • Payment services regulatory framework (PSD2, PAD and SEPA);
  • Prevention and management of conflicts of interests;
  • Professional ethics and fraud.

Other regulatory matters (professional secrecy, cross-border activities, approval process for new products/services, client complaints, GDPR, FATCA/CRS etc.) also fall within the scope of the compliance function.

How do you deal with these matters in relation to internal governance, oversight, your compliance-monitoring plan, etc.?
