“What would you like to ask DNB about the new SIRA Guidance?”

VCO Event | The integrity risk analysis as the basis for control

Thursday 25 September 2025 | 16:00 – 19:00 | De Groene Afslag, Laren

The Integrity Risk Management (IRM) Knowledge Group of the VCO is organizing a unique event on the new SIRA Good Practices from DNB.

This seminar will highlight the SIRA not as a goal in itself, but as a strategic instrument for broader integrity management. With attention to both the formal aspects (supervision and guidance) and human factors (behaviour, culture and board involvement).

What to expect?

• Insights from DNB on the new SIRA Good Practices
• Break-out sessions with Rabobank, KPMG and Projective
• Practical tools for integrity management across sectors
• Interactive Q&A and panel discussion: not only to hear DNB’s views, but also to provide our feedback, questions and insights directly to DNB as SIRA makers and users
• Networking reception

For whom?
Compliance officers and risk managers from the financial sector, as well as professionals from other sectors where integrity is a key priority.

Theme: Internal Investigations

When an organization is faced with an integrity incident or possible misconduct, it can have a profound impact. It’s a stressful period for everyone involved. How can an organization prepare for such a situation? Should an investigation be conducted? Who should carry it out? How can the commissioner ensure it’s done properly? Who gets to see the report, and how should it be communicated internally and externally?

Prof. Mr. Marjan Olfers will share her insights and diverse experiences on this topic. Afterwards, she will continue the discussion with a panel of experts and the audience.

The Veerman Lecture will take place at Theater Diligentia, Lange Voorhout 5, The Hague.

Starts at 13:30, with the main program from 14:00 to 16:15, followed by a networking drink.

Only for members of the VCO

The FEC-risk Expert course and the Executive Master of Compliance & Integrity Management of the Vrije Universiteit (VU) will hold their lustrum event on 20 June 2025. The details will follow as soon as possible.

In this symposium, organised by the CIM programme in collaboration with De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, PwC and the VCO, we will discuss how compliance can support the responsible design and use of AI for ethical organisational growth, and take advantage of AI in day-to-day integrity risk management.
This year, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Compliance and Integrity Management (CIM) programme, marking two decades of expertise and innovation.

We look forward to seeing you!

The tension between compliance and privacy is evident: on the one hand, the legislator and supervisors force you to comply with, for example, obligations under the Wwft, but on the other hand, strict requirements are also imposed on the protection of personal data of data subjects. Compliance and Privacy: friend and foe?

What are the practical consequences of this balancing act? What is wise in this landscape that is becoming increasingly complicated, especially due to the introduction of AI? Is there a role for renewed public-private cooperation with the gatekeepers? In short, plenty of topics to discuss with the experts and to question them on 5 June 2025 in Baarn on the Groot Kievitsdal estate. The day will conclude with the traditional networking dinner with the Professors’ Debate.
