Therefore, to achieve compliance, banks and financial institutions need to make significant investment in their human capital, processes and technologies, the statement added.
Changes in structure, design and control system are inevitable if we want to meet the new challenges in today's global economic and financial environment, Muhammad Rashid Zahir said.
