      MAS Individual Accountability and Conduct - Your Obligations

      The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has introduced guidelines to help firms strengthen accountability at senior levels, enhance oversight of material risk personnel, and reinforce ethical conduct throughout the organisation.

      Firms play a crucial role in safeguarding the financial system’s integrity, and the way they conduct business and engage with customers is largely influenced by the culture within their organisation.

      Waystone’s guide to individual accountability and conduct provides a comprehensive overview that includes:

      • the five key outcomes firms must achieve to meet MAS guidelines
      • the role of senior management in driving accountability and oversight
      • strategies for ensuring material risk personnel are fit and proper for their roles
      • best practices for embedding a culture of ethical conduct across the organisation
      • key recommendations for governance, hiring, onboarding and performance management.
