Compliance experts to meet in Lagos for ethical forum

Founder of Graypatch Advisory Limited, Ayobami Adisa

Senior compliance officers, governance professionals, legal practitioners and regulators from across Africa will gather in Lagos on May 21 for the Africa’s Ethical Compliance Future 2026 forum.

The one-day executive forum will be held at the Radisson Blu Hotel and is expected to attract more than 100 senior-level participants from Africa and international markets.Organisers said the conference would focus on ethics, regulatory compliance and corporate governance as African institutions face growing calls for stronger accountability, transparency and alignment with global regulatory standards.

The event comes at a time when organisations in the financial services sector, the fintech industry and the wider private sector are under increasing pressure to show governance maturity and ethical business practices beyond basic regulatory compliance.

Speaking ahead of the event, the founder of CCC Consultancy Group Ltd said compliance had become a key pillar for institutional credibility and trust.

“Across Africa and globally, compliance is no longer just about meeting regulatory requirements; it is about building institutions that can be trusted,” the founder said.

Founder of Graypatch Advisory Limited, Ayobami Adisa, described the conference as timely, saying Nigeria must continue to strengthen its reputation for ethical business conduct.

“This conference is both timely and necessary. As Nigeria seeks to strengthen its global reputation for ethical business conduct, there is a clear need to equip compliance practitioners with the tools, knowledge and perspective required to navigate rapidly evolving global standards,” he said.

Mr Adisa added that the forum was designed to bridge the gap between local compliance practice and global expectations while promoting a stronger compliance culture across institutions.

Discussions at the event will cover emerging regulatory trends across African jurisdictions, the role of corporate boards in shaping ethical culture, transparency obligations for regulated entities and the relationship between environmental, social and governance priorities and compliance frameworks.

Panel sessions and presentations will feature experts and practitioners from Africa, the United Kingdom and other international markets. Participants are expected from the private sector, government institutions, regulatory agencies and civil society organisations.

The forum is jointly organised by Graypatch Advisory Limited and CCC Consultancy Group Ltd.
