The local Compliance department is part of the Permanent Controls & Compliance organisation in Germany and acts as the second line of defence of the bank in Germany. Compliance is part of the Group wide Compliance business line, headed in Paris. The importance of compliance has grown over the past years, to align with increasing regulatory requirements imposed by national, European and global regulatory authorities, all embedded in Group Compliance policies. In order to comply with these standards, adequate compliance measures are keys for current businesses but also for any kind of new client relationship or new business. As a consequence, compliance plays a significant role in a lot of organisational processes, e.g. in new product development, in new client due diligence, in any planned change of the organisation. However, compliance staff is not only supporting the different functions of the organization in beforehand mentioned context but also – and most importantly – acting as an advisor to top management whenever crucial decisions need to be taken.

Review from the former VIE:

"As I prepare to pass the torch of my V.I.E, a gentle melancholy already washes over me, a true “saudade” moment stirring in my heart. These past months have been a truly life changing experience, both on the professional and personal side. On the professional side, I have dived deep into the world of compliance, exploring its layers, its components, its challenges, and learning a bit more every day. However, it was my incredible team who truly made this adventure unforgettable, and I have so much gratitude for them : open-minded, welcoming, caring colleagues who were always ready to support, to advise, to explain – and to laugh. On the personal side, I have found the V.I.E. experience enlightening, as it has taught me a lot about myself.  I arrived with unfounded reservations about Germany, but ended up wanting to stay longer in Munich. This experience has taught me that the best lessons often come from challenging our own preconceptions. In conclusion, I can only echo the words of the previous V.I.E., Antonin: 'Seize this chance and join us on this exciting adventure!'" -Lorène
