WG54 - ESG - DISCUSSION FORUM
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, we propose to set up a WG with the objective of gaining insight into prevailing market practices and developing a suitable conceptual framework, with a specific focus on compliance risk assessment and monitoring activities. We are looking for professionals within the financial sector, including individuals affiliated with banks, investment firms or management companies, who specialise in compliance and are responsible for overseeing compliance monitoring activities. The purpose of their involvement is threefold:
-
To gain an understanding of the various existing frameworks within the financial industry
-
To discuss and propose a paper that explores the key trends and future perspective of a robust framework
-
To collaborate in defining a common conceptual compliance framework for risk assessment and monitoring activities
