Course Outline and Objectives
In today’s regulatory and economic environment, Compliance managers are under more pressure than ever to make sure they are targeting risks, and resources, as effectively as possible. To make the right judgments about where to focus your effort in terms of monitoring compliance, you need to be able to answer the following questions:
- How can you ensure and demonstrate the robustness of your controls?
- What will be the new regulators' approach to risk assessment?
- How we did we take into account past trends?
- What is a safe level of monitoring?
- What are the best methods of monitoring different controls?
- When is it appropriate to increase or increase levels of monitoring?
- How are current high risk areas being captured through the monitoring programme?
This practical one-day workshop will help Compliance and Monitoring professionals identify the principle compliance risks in their business and design and execute a risk based compliance monitoring plan accordingly.
Making extensive use of practical EXAMPLES, CASE STUDIES and EXERCISES, this practical workshop will help you:
