The Regulation and Compliance Forum
With regulations continuing to be introduced or amended across the Capital Markets and the Regulator's drive towards firm's being able to demonstrate a healthy Culture, (prescribed in the Senior Managers and Certification Regime). Coupled with the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, complexity for Firms to be compliant, whatever their legal/organisational structure and location will only increase. Culture quite rightly now plays an important part in regulatory compliance, as Andrew Bailey commented in one of his speeches ...`` My assessment of recent history is that there has not been a case of a major prudential or conduct failing in a firm which did not have among its root causes a failure of culture as manifested in governance, remuneration, risk management or tone from the top`` ...

This forum will liaise with the other ISITC Europe forum groups to focus on impactful, relevant regulatory change (horizon and imminent) and strategies for compliance. And work with with leading experts to examine, debate, discuss and inform, to provide members with a unique perspective to assist in their understanding of the impact of new or updated regulations across the whole of the financial services community.
