Jasmin Schwarz, Head of Compliance:

 "In the Group Compliance department our primary objective is to prevent companies and their employees from violating legal and regulatory requirements, and as a result - as the legislation of the last couple of years shows - from suffering substantial financial losses. The idea of protection is of primary importance. Accordingly, we are dealing with numerous legal areas, a wide range of topics and all VIG countries. Our main task is to integrate the complex legal requirements into the business processes - through projects, guidelines, training or consulting. Without adequate pragmatism, an in-depth understanding of the business model, very good communication and high social skills, this cannot be achieved - compliance still is a difficult topic to grasp. But the activity offers a high variety of topics and of development possibilities - on a professional and a personal level." (c) Picture: Klaus Ranger
