Graham Kent, Deutsche Bank's Group Chief Compliance Officer, on the compliance challenges shaping the industry’s future

Today’s guest outlines how the accelerating pace of regulatory change poses significant challenges for global financial institutions. He highlights that fragmentation can create a complex landscape for banks’ compliance divisions, and underscores the benefits of adopting a more coordinated, risk-based approach to rulemaking.

He also discusses how the industry could best evolve the traditional three lines of defence model, how banks can better anticipate risks and how banks and regulators can collaborate to achieve an effective balance between protecting markets and promoting growth.

Graham Kent’s career spans three decades and includes seven years as a lawyer at Clifford Chance. He joined Deutsche Bank’s legal department in 2006. He has since held several senior roles across the bank’s legal and compliance divisions before becoming its Group Chief Compliance Officer in 2024.
