Why You Should Attend

Financial services firms’ corporate compliance programs continue to be under intense regulatory scrutiny and face immense challenges brought upon the FinTech revolution. Many new rules have been issued which impact the manner in which financial services firms operate. At the same time, these programs have to adapt to financial services regulators’ collection and analysis of a wide variety of data to help inform policy and to detect problematic behavior.  At this program, attendees will get a solid foundation about the relevant regulatory framework, as well as practical considerations regarding the design and implementation of such programs.  A distinguished faculty of practitioners and regulators will review the major regulations and current examination and enforcement actions to give attendees a multi-faceted perspective on requirements and best practices in this area.
