The Unique Platform for the Regulatory, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Community in the GCC
The Gulf region is undergoing a period of significant regulatory change. Even before the financial crisis, the GCC countries were playing catch-up with developed markets, especially in terms of transparency, governance and financial crime. To support this drive to uphold compliance and sound regulations, Thomson Reuters Governance, Risk & Compliance is proud to present the 6th GCC Regulators' Summit on February 20 & 21, 2012 at Al Bustan Palace, A Ritz Carlton Hotel in association with the Oman Centre for Corporate Governance, Capital Market Authority and under the patronage of the Minister of Commerce & Industry of Oman.
In the summit's 6th year, Thomson Reuters Governance, Risk & Compliance and the Oman Centre for Corporate Governance, Capital Market Authority will bring together senior representatives from the region's top regulators, central banks, market authorities, exchanges, banks and other financial institutions to provide a unique forum from which to share their knowledge, best practices and perspectives on the most pressing regulatory issues facing the financial services industry.
The 6th GCC Regulators' Summit will include a series of panel sessions and cover crucial topics such as: regulatory challenges and developments, corporate governance, anti-corruption compliance, anti-money laundering, international sanctions compliance, insolvency reform and systemic risk. It will attract over 400 pre-qualified senior representatives from the compliance community, international and regional banks and financial institutions.
