Financial Regulation and Compliance

ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ
The regulatory framework pertaining to the financial and professional services sector is constantly changing, and new regulations, as well as updates to existing regulations, directives and other obligations are constantly being introduced. This continuous influx of regulations comes from many sources, including the local and European Union regulators, EU and Central Bank, as well as from other international standard setting bodies.
Professionals working in the financial sector, and/ or within the compliance function, need to implement and adhere to these new regulations on a constant basis, and to do so they need to receive the relevant training and updates. Firms within the financial and professional services sector, therefore, find themselves having to anticipate all these requirements with enhanced personnel training and the upgrade of existing internal control mechanisms to face, as efficiently as possible, the new challenges that may lead to a change of their entire business model.
In view of the above, many Cyprus companies operating within the financial industry, are registered under regulatory and controlling bodies, like CySEC, which revise, amend, and enforce new regulations. It is, therefore, compulsory that certified employees need to undergo annual training to be fully aware of the latest regulatory framework that they must operate in, as well as to satisfy the CPD requirements by CySEC.
