This elective studies key concepts and issues in bank compliance and group-wide compliance management. The course will give insight into compliance-related non-financial risks like Financial Crime, Bribery and Corruption, Markets and Customer Conduct as well as Data Protection both from a regulatory as well as a business perspective. At the end of the elective, the students will be able to cover compliance-related topics both from a compliance function and from a business function perspective. They also gain an understanding of possible measures of regulatory scrutiny like settlement agreements, US Monitorships, UK Skilled Person Regimes and how banks can perform major compliance transformations and ensure group-wide compliance management.
The content is delivered through readings, class-room presentations, discussions and exercises. Grading will be based on a take-home assignment with a mix of regulatory and management-related questions.

There are two main things which make returning for Open Programs such a valuable and worthwhile experience.

The second is the level of quality in the courses – the faculty teaching are absolute experts.
