Building an effective compliance and ethics programme is both essential and challenging for any regulated entity. Such a programme ensures that organisations proactively identify corruption risks, meet relevant regulatory requirements and promote ethical behavior. Management should strive to achieve a balance between meeting increasingly stringent regulatory requirements and addressing the expectations of internal stakeholders. Cultivating a strong compliance culture, supported by continuous training on policies and professional ethics, is key to fostering an ethical business environment.
