Participants will gain practical knowledge of integrating compliance programs with Enterprise Risk Management, Internal Audit, Operational Risk Management, and corporate governance to establish a comprehensive compliance framework. Through practical case studies, regulatory scenarios, and interactive workshops, participants will strengthen their ability to interpret regulatory requirements, conduct compliance risk assessments, develop effective compliance controls, prepare regulatory reports, and respond to supervisory examinations.
