In this day and age of heightened monetary scrutiny and regulations, being compliant is the most challenging aspect facing banks/financial institutions. In the era of escalating global and local regulations, such as risk management, capital adequacy, AML (anti-money laundering) compliance and data privacy etc., the relevance of expert guidance has only grown in importance.

Nowadays, the banking space is a dynamic and complex one, where even a small breach of compliance could result in monetary fines or severe blow to reputation/thousands of customers lost. Regulators are constantly updating frameworks to address new risks —including cybersecurity threats and environmental, social and governance (ESG)issues. To remain in compliance, banks need a working knowledge of these rules and an ability to treat them as business-as-usual.
