HC-3.2.2

The compliance function must be independent (i.e. it must not be placed in a position where its other duties or responsibilities may cause a conflict of interest with its compliance risk management responsibilities). Therefore the compliance function must be separate from the internal audit function. The compliance officer or manager may however, perform other limited related compliance roles (e.g. the MLRO or legal advisor), subject to the Agency's prior approval.
