The views and opinions expressed in this content are those of the thought leader as an individual and are not attributed to CeFPro or any other organization
- Global compliance
frameworks should combine common controls with disciplined local execution
- Obligations should
connect directly to risks, critical services, controls and evidence
- Firms should measure
control effectiveness and residual risk rather than completed compliance
activities
- Common standards and
local overlays can reduce duplication across jurisdictions
- Greater regulatory
alignment would benefit resilience, cyber, third-party and AI risks
- AI can improve
compliance efficiency but requires strong data, model and human governance
