The last years have seen an increasing trend in the complexity of the compliance landscape. As enforcement of regulations gained strength, the costs associated with the failure to comply have increased significantly. With so much at stake, corporate compliance is garnering more and more attention and becoming a constant factor in business strategy.
The European Chamber Compliance Conference 2017 is a unique opportunity for your compliance team and decision makers to come together with industry experts and peers to discuss proactive compliance strategies, identify how regulations impact businesses and discover best practices for implementing a stronger compliance program, managing third party risks, ensure employees discipline with compliance programs and learn from real case studies.
