Programme Overview
Some of the business trends that have been happening relate to the increasing demand from stakeholders; more and more financial institutions have more and more stakeholders that are coming up with different demands they have to be following. Traditionally, some of these stakeholders will not qualify as stakeholders, but with the ever increasing business landscape, different jurisdictions becoming more linked together and the world becoming a global village, regulations and laws that are enacted in the United States and Europe now have far-reaching impact on the activities of financial institutions globally. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) of the United States and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union are some of the international laws/regulations that have huge impact on financial institutions in Nigeria.
