Regulatory compliance
Navigating the minefield of regulatory requirements for financial services
Fully understand and be compliant with MiFID, MiFIR, Twin Peaks II, AML/KYC, AIFMD, New Banking Law, EMIR, etc.
Are you familiar with requirements applicable to the financial services industry?
Like MiFID, MiFIR, Twin Peaks II, AML/KYC, AIFMD, New Banking Law, EMIR and others...
And, as importantly, are you compliant with those that apply to you?
Just as your company expands and moves forward so does the regulatory environment. Do you stay up to date with adaptions to existing laws and regulations, and the introduction, transposition – and development of – new regulations by the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) and the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA)?
Given the nature of the industry, it’s a minefield; one wrong step and you’re facing fines, possibly sanctions and certainly reputational damage.
Looking to introduce a new service or product?
Don’t just think business development and marketing. You may need to acquire a licence and consider and apply a myriad of related regulations.
Much more than just a legal or regulatory concern
Proactively preventing non-compliance or failure to adhere to NBB regulations is a firm-wide responsibility. A robust governance framework can help you make sure that roles and responsibilities in relation to these regulations are clear within your organisation, and it helps embed change.
