Impressive introduction, thank you Tarik. Your skills will definitely enrich our Compliance Community. You mention a crucial element of each and every compliance set up: Technology. I strongly believe that upcoming requirements, in terms of legal / regulatory standards and the challenge to get the work done with limited human resources, will require us to optimise the existing technological support.
