05 / HOW WE ARE GOVERNED 01 02 03 04 06 07 08 09 133 ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE STATEMENT REGULATORY ADVISORY, GOVERNANCE AND OVERSIGHT Strong regulatory advisory, governance, and effective oversight are fundamental to sustaining trust, safeguarding financial stability, and supporting long-term business sustainability. Through the GRA function, the Group provides structured oversight and advisory support on regulatory matters, ensuring alignment with applicable supervisory expectations, regulatory requirements and governance standards. 1. Dissemination of Regulatory Issuances Timely dissemination of regulatory updates is critical to maintaining compliance and readiness. GRA facilitated the dissemination of 285 revised and new frameworks, guidelines and circulars. These efforts are key to ensuring ongoing compliance throughout the organisation. These issuances span governance, conduct and operational domains and reflect the breadth of the Group’s regulatory obligations. 2. Strengthening Regulatory Engagement and Readiness In 2025, GRA strengthened the Group’s approach to managing regulatory and enforcement engagements through the introduction of a structured and standardised framework for handling visits and interactions with enforcement authorities. The Guide on Handling Visits from Enforcement Officers established clear protocols governing the end-to-end management of enforcement engagements, from initial contact through to conclusion, ensuring orderly coordination, consistent communication and adherence to governance requirements. 3. Enhancing Regulatory Awareness and Compliance Discipline To promote sustained awareness and compliance discipline, GRA leveraged structured governance tools such as the Corporate Regulatory Compliance Calendar, and Regulatory Issuances Impact Review. These mechanisms enabled systematic tracking of regulatory obligations, early identification of gaps or delays and timely escalation to Management and governance forums where required. Innovative and accessible communication initiatives such as the Regulatory Brew further supported the integration of regulatory awareness into day-to-day operations and decision-making, emphasising the importance of compliance as part of normal business conduct rather than a purely reactive exercise.
