CFA Society South Africa in collaboration with ABSIP National and The Financial Planning Institute SA hosted the Financial Mail Collective Insight Round Table Virtual Discussion, Is financial regulation moving in the right direction in South Africa? Financial regulation, as a process, is a constant journey. Ideally it should stay ahead of the industry to provide a sort of “guiding light”. More typically, it arises to correct some problem that the industry has not seen fit to correct on its own. That said, when new regulations are tabled, there is any amount of pushback from different stakeholder quarters. Change is never easy. Live discussion with contributing authors Lerato Lamola Esq., Associate Director at Webber Wentzel, Lebogang Thobakgale, Financial Crime Assurance Manager (VP) at ABSA, Rob Rusconi, Researcher and consultant at Tres Consulting, Langa Madonko, Co-founder and Principal at Summit Africa, Analisa Ndebele, Associate Financial Regulatory at Webber Wentzel and moderator Anne Cabot-Alletzhauser, Adjunct Faculty, Practice Director and Co-Founder of the Responsible Finance Initiative at the Gordon Institute of Business Sciences at the University of Pretoria.
