The Legal & Compliance department has selected four profiles with diversified and complementary skills. The Supervisory Body will be pivotal to SKS’s legal, compliance and AML systems. In addition to the usual audit tasks, the Supervisory Body will oversee the security of the IT networks and of the financial flows, the risk management function and will work alongside the AML/MLRO to further develop the Company’s internal control systems to prevent potential offenses within our sector, constantly exposed to risks.
