Individual Accountability and Conduct ("IAC") - It Is Here and Are Companies Ready for the Change?

September 20, 2021
 
It has been a year since the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) finalized Singapore’s own equivalent to the United Kingdom’s Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR), Hong Kong’s Managers-in-Charge Regime (MIC), and Australia’s Banking Executive Accountability Regime (BEAR) with the aptly titled Guidelines on Individual Accountability and Conduct (IAC).
