Within Quality, Risk & Management (QRM), more than 20 professionals ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations and integral quality and risk management for BDO. The activities focus on (complex) regulations that affect all BDO professionals. The department helps colleagues by providing support in the interpretation of laws and regulations and will, where necessary, translate issues into workable plans.

Think, for example, of advice on and monitoring of the (re)acceptance of clients and related risks in the field of anti-money laundering laws and regulations and/or sanctions regulations, the assessment and follow-up of (internal) reports of potential unusual transactions, or the development and further development of procedures regarding client acceptance.
