CONCERNING
IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPLIANCE FUNCTIONS FOR COMMERCIAL BANKS
I. GENERAL
Banking business activities continue to change and increase in line with the development of information technology, globalization, and financial market integration, so that the complexity of their activities is increasingly high. The increasing complexity of banking business activities results in greater challenges and risk exposure faced. Given the increasing challenges and risks of banking business, various types of efforts are needed to mitigate these risks. These efforts can be preventive (ex-ante) or curative (ex-post). Preventive (ex-ante) efforts are very necessary to reduce or minimize the potential risks of banking business activities that are estimated to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the role and Compliance Function as well as the compliance work unit in managing Compliance Risk. Good and timely management of Compliance Risk is expected to minimize the impact of risks as early as possible. Thus, the role and Compliance Function as well as the compliance work unit in the future will not only look at events that are preventive (ex-ante) but must also be able to manage Compliance Risk in line with the application of risk management that has been running in the Bank as a whole.
