Background:
The financial sector is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by digitalisation, evolving customer expectations, and growing interconnectedness. Concurrently, the regulatory and supervisory landscape has become more challenging, with heightened focus on governance, conduct, consumer protection, cyber resilience, and financial crime prevention. In this environment, the role of the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) has evolved beyond regulatory compliance to a more strategic function—supporting the Board and senior management in ensuring robust governance, fostering a culture of compliance, and proactively managing emerging risks. The growing complexity arising from fintech partnerships, data-driven operations, and technological advancements has further expanded the scope and expectations of the compliance function.
Against this backdrop, there is a need to bring together CCOs to deliberate on emerging challenges, regulatory expectations, and best practices to strengthen compliance frameworks in a dynamic environment.
Objective:
The Conference aims to provide a platform for Chief Compliance Officers to deliberate on evolving regulatory expectations and supervisory priorities, and share insights on strengthening compliance frameworks and governance practices. It will also focus on emerging risks arising from digitalisation, fintech innovations, and cyber threats, and examine strategies for fostering a strong compliance culture and ethical practices across institutions. Further, the Conference will explore the role of technology and data analytics in enhancing compliance effectiveness, while enabling peer learning and meaningful interaction with regulators, industry experts, and thought leaders.
