Sjako Weering

My experience as a regulator at the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (2000-2010) and as a consultant to a number of financial organisations (since 2010) enables me to assist these organisations with all their compliance-related challenges.

I am originally an economist, but all these years of working with financial regulatory law have taught me to make a practical link between business and compliance risks. I help large organisations (e.g. international banks) comply with new legislation and improve the way they comply with existing laws and regulations. For smaller organisations, I provide an overview of relevant regulatory requirements, provide advice on these requirements and provide structural monitoring of compliance. In my work as a compliance consultant, I combine a practical approach with knowledge of relevant laws and regulations in current or future scenarios.
