Course Overview

Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over comprehensive compliance programmes. Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of this part of financial and banking practice. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the wider financial and banking practice agenda so that teams can disagree productively about it. The professional literature on comprehensive compliance programmes converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this strand of financial and banking practice, not for observers of it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this part of financial and banking practice under scrutiny. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of comprehensive compliance programmes rather than to abstract argument. What blocks progress on this strand of financial and banking practice is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the financial and banking practice discipline that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
