FATCA - Should We
Be
Worried?
The US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act has
reinforced the new era of extraterritorial law.
Along with the EU AIFM and the US Dodd Frank
Act, FATCA is the third major onshore statute to
have direct implications on foreign financial
services. Underneath the complicated provisions
and guidance lies a warning that all of our
jurisdictions may need to overhaul our AML
procedures in order to comply, or have our
clients suffer the penalty of a withholding tax.

#1 - Solvency II
Compliance
The Solvency II
directive is the biggest ever exercise designed
to bring together insurers and reinsurers under
one regulatory regime. The extension of GRC-XML
to Solvency II Pillar II will derive technology
standards that enhance the sharing of
information between various technologies that
support GRC efforts. This will allow
organizations to greatly improve governance risk
and compliance information management,
transparency, and benchmarking capability.

Compliance Documentation

#3 - Corporate
Governance for Non Profit Organisations
Corporate compliance is a
fairly new standard to governance within many
nonprofit organizations. This session will
highlight the ebbs and flows of operating in a
nonprofit environment whilst still being
expected to provide outcomes equal to corporate
standards. It will also focus on the importance
for Board members to operate in an ethical
manner to ensure decisions are made in the best
interests of the organization - and not in their
own best interests.

The Competitive Advantage of Principled
Performance
An
imperative for integrating governance,
management and assurance of performance, risk,
and compliance
Every well-run
organization today has the goal of achieving its
objectives while addressing uncertainty and
acting with integrity. But how do we manage
threats that create risk while still moving
quickly to gain a competitive advantage? How do
we assure that the organization is nimble and
can make swift judgements that allow it to take
risks where others may not be able to? How can
we better establish a balanced relationship
between the governance, management and assurance
of performance, risk and compliance?
In this session, Carole Switzer discusses the
way that an integrated GRC capability drives
this outcome, and presents the OCEG GRC
Capability Model with open sources standards you
can apply in your organization.

The Enemy Within
With increasingly
demanding reporting requirements from
international standard setters, Compliance
Officers have to balance reporting obligations
to regulatory and law enforcement authorities
against impacting the bottom line of their
organizations. Tension between these apparent
conflicting demands places Compliance Officers
on a tight rope and gives rise to the
question…are Compliance Officers “The Spy
Within”?

The Connected
Roles of Internal Audit and Compliance
In this new world of

share responsibilities? How can these
professionals work together to drive business
value?
