Bob StanierA unique seminar is aimed at helping local financial services firms carry out their own ‘compliance health check’ will be held at the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort on August 9th.

The seminar will be delivered by experts from PwC in partnership with FTS, a local management consulting and training services firm.

Presentations will be made by PwC Partner Robert Stanier who will be joined by other speakers and panellists which will include; Mr. Don Ebanks from DMS, and Mr. Peter Colegate from Appleby.

“We are looking forward to the seminar as it will be an opportunity for  compliance professionals to enhance their internal compliance programs and assurance functions, Mr. Stanier said. “The ability of a firm to carry out this type of exercise can be key to preparing for other external assessments and also serves as an ongoing risk management tool,” he added.

Paul Byles, Director of FTS, explained that the seminar is the direct result of demand from previous seminar participants.

“We carried out surveys of over 170 persons attending the previous seminars and this topic was the highest ranking among them so we simply had to offer it. Many compliance professionals are aware of the internal compliance audit process but are keen to improve their existing approaches. This seminar will help them to achieve that”, Mr Byles said.

The seminar is aimed at compliance professionals, internal audit personnel and CEOs, all of which are directly or indirectly involved in ensuring that firms have effective internal assessment of their risk managements systems.

The event is being held on August 9th at the Grand Cayman Marriott and participants are encouraged to sign up by August 7th to guarantee their spots given the popularity. Anyone interested should register for ‘Compliance Health Check’ at www.ftscayman.com.
