What your target persona – the Compliance Officer is responsible for…..
Compliance Officers are one of the most important members of the management team and are primarily responsible for overseeing compliance within an organization, and ensuring compliance with local & international laws, regulatory requirements, policies, and procedures.
Just a few examples from the myriad of their responsibilities;
- Understanding the existing & emerging regulatory compliance requirements & threats across the organisation.
- Overseeing and monitoring the implementation of the compliance program.
- Providing guidance, advice, and training.
- Providing strategic direction & reporting on compliance, regulations & risk.
- Interacting with regulators on compliance, regulatory & risk related issues and monitoring external review processes.
- Coordinating efforts related to audits, reviews, and examinations.
- Developing policies and programs that encourage managers and employees to report suspected FinCrime, Fraud and other improprieties, without fear of retaliation.
- Coordinating internal compliance review and monitoring activities.
The compliance leader and subject matter expert is responsible for establishing standards and implementing procedures to ensure compliance programs are effective in identifying, preventing, detecting, and correcting noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations. With this in mind, RegTech vendors can accurately build a picture of their target buying personas, and start to plan engagement programmes to drive interest, brand awareness and create valuable revenue opportunities.

- The Compliance Officer is lacking in the financial and human resources necessary to do the job.
- The Compliance Officer is confronted with ineffective monitoring tools and inadequate reporting of policies & procedures.
