From Tick-Box Compliance to Trusted Business Partner: Culture, Risk and ESG in DIFC Firms
Description
As regulatory expectations in the DIFC continue to evolve, firms are increasingly expected to move beyond a narrow, tick-box approach to compliance and risk management. This webinar explores how compliance, risk and ESG functions can act as trusted business partners, supporting sustainable growth while meeting regulatory and ethical expectations. We will examine how culture, governance and decision-making frameworks influence risk outcomes, and how firms can embed ESG considerations into day-to-day operations. The session will provide practical insights for senior leaders seeking to align regulatory compliance, risk management and ESG with long-term business strategy in the DIFC.
This webinar provides one-hour of CPD and offers insights and updates from a leading industry-expert speaker.
