The worldwide compliance team consists of skilled professionals who possess extensive knowledge in regulatory and corporate compliance.
We aim to make compliance more approachable for all employees, while also providing a platform for sharing feedback, suggestions, and addressing challenges faced by local offices. Furthermore, compliance collaborates with and leverages resources from other risk functions to ensure a cohesive and integrated approach to implementing the compliance program from other risk functions to ensure an integrated approach to implementing the compliance program.
The compliance team holds the responsibility of creating and executing a comprehensive global and regional training program that addresses critical compliance risks and encompasses the intricate and dynamic laws and regulations governing our business. Recognizing that diverse roles and jurisdictions entail distinct compliance obligations, the training is customized accordingly, utilizing a combination of online tools and in-person sessions for effective delivery.
The purpose of this monitoring is to evaluate the efficiency of controls and mitigate the risks associated with potential violations of laws, regulations, or procedures. The frequency and scope of monitoring activities are determined based on the level of risk. In cases where compliance-led reviews or internal audits identify weaknesses in the program, prompt corrective measures are implemented.
It is mandatory for employees to promptly report any violations or potential violations of laws, or procedures. To facilitate this process, we have established a worldwide integrity hotline, managed by an independent third party. This confidential hotline allows employees to anonymously and securely raise any concerns they may have with senior management.
Compliance, in collaboration with the legal team, has the authority to initiate investigations into possible breaches or areas of concern. Employees found to be in violation of the code of conduct, policies, and procedures may face disciplinary measures.
