Fit and proper in practice: When compliance breaches become a personal liability and suitability issue
The fit and proper requirements for managers are no longer merely a formal licensing issue, but are increasingly becoming a personal risk. In current supervisory practice, organisational deficiencies – for example in the areas of governance, compliance or money laundering prevention – are increasingly being individualised and attributed directly to management. This results in personal accusations, supervisory proceedings and potentially far-reaching consequences for the professional future.
In this event, we will discuss the regulatory expectations placed on executives today, how compliance violations become personal fit and proper issues, and how those affected can deal with such situations in practice. Short keynote speeches and a subsequent panel discussion will shed light on the topic from a regulatory, practical and defence perspective and provide space for exchange and discussion.
