Compliance Training for Financial Institutions in Philippines: A Must-Have for Banking Success

The compliance function plays a crucial role in managing risk and maintaining a bank’s reputation in the Philippines. The risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, financial loss, or loss to reputation is a real threat for banks that fail to comply with applicable laws, regulations, codes of conduct, and standards of good practice.

Importance of Compliance Training

To mitigate this risk, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has implemented guidelines and rules that require banks to adopt a compliance framework based on principles from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and industry best practices. This framework helps maintain a bank’s reputation with shareholders, customers, employees, and the market.
