The DCO ensures the Group complies with (i) Ǿ internal and external provisions related to preventing money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT), (ii) Ǿ provisions related to the fight against corruption and associated offences as well as fraud and anti-competitive practices, (iii) Ǿ provisions to do with abiding by national and international trade and financial sanctions, provisions that govern the performance of banking and financing activities or (v) Ǿ provisions that ensure the protection of the personal data and private lives of clients. The department is part of the Executive Risk Department (DXR). The Compliance function reports on its activities to the Internal Control Committee (Cocint) and to the New Products and New Activities committee (Coconap in its Compliance configuration), as well as the Regulatory Risk Committee. The Compliance function covers all sectors, operations, geographic areas and regulatory contexts of AFD Group. In addition to operational projects and activities, it also concerns the Group’s new activities and products, in accordance with regulations. Its ultimate aim is to ensure that non-compliance risks are appropriately evaluated in the interest of preventing and limiting the exposure of AFD Group and its management to legal and/ or administrative action and to reputational risks, by supervising them should these risks arise. Non-compliance risk monitoring is ongoing and backed by a risk map.

This procedure will come into force in 2021;
P finalisation of the project to overhaul measures to prevent and manage conflicts of interests within the Group with the aim of streamlining the roles and responsibilities of each of the players involved in preventing and managing conflicts of interest and reviewing internal procedures. The revised

To this end, the head of the department is supported by the AFD Group’s head of IT system security (RSSI). An analysis of ITC risks is carried out at least once a year under the IS risk governance system. Security risks are extracted from it and processed under the IT security management system (SMSI), in compliance with ISO Ǿ 27001. The SMSI provides a framework for addressing AFD’s IT-related risks, from appraisal of the risks to implementing remedial measures and ongoing IT system security checks. After the annual risk analysis, AFD’s operational risk map and the triennial security project plan are updated. The steering bodies use this plan to determine the security upgrades for the IT system. The information systemsecurity policy (ISSP), which is compliant with ISO Ǿ 27001 and ISO Ǿ 27002, defines the 90 Ǿ security rules needed to protect AFD’s information systems. The application of each rule is stipulated by a set of internal security standards and procedures, in compliance with good practices in the field. This ISSP is accompanied by an IT user charter which has been enforceable for all users since it was included in the rules and regulations. Measures to raise awareness of ISS, in the form of regular talks and digital training, ensure that all Group users are familiar with the main rules for use.
