Risk, Compliance and AMLBuilding an Effective Compliance Function
Many organisations appoint a compliance officer without giving real thought to the function's mandate, resourcing or standing within the business. This course addresses the organisational design question directly, covering how to structure a compliance function, define its charter and independence, and build the influence needed to change behaviour rather than simply record breaches after the fact.
Course objectives
- Define the mandate, independence and reporting lines of a compliance function
- Structure compliance resourcing across three lines of defence
- Develop a compliance culture change programme with measurable outcomes
- Design key performance indicators for the compliance function itself
- Position compliance as a business partner rather than a policing function

- Chief executives and chief operating officers designing control functions
- Human resources leaders shaping conduct and culture programmes
- Board risk and audit committee members overseeing compliance
