Compliance Risk Management Framework Crucial for Firms in Ireland
In the wake of significant misconduct identified at financial institutions, the Central Bank of Ireland has increased its regulatory focus on conduct and culture. As a result, firms are under pressure to enhance their compliance risk management frameworks to prevent consumer/investor detriment and ensure market stability.
EU Legislation
EU legislation has also played a significant role in shaping the compliance landscape for Irish firms. The introduction of new regulations such as PRIIPs, MiFID II, EMIR, MCD, and IDD has emphasized the importance of conduct risk management. Firms must ensure that their frameworks are aligned with these regulations to avoid non-compliance.
Behaviour and Accountability
The Central Bank has also highlighted the importance of organisational culture in driving good or bad behaviour. As a result, firms are focusing on understanding the drivers of good and bad behaviour within their organisations. The upcoming Individual Accountability Framework is expected to further improve customer outcomes by promoting accountability within organisations.
