Agentic AI, Governance for the Compliance and Governance Community
Location: Beirut – Lebanon
Date: August 13 – 14, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM till 2:30PM
Background:
This program is designed to run immediately after the Arab Regional Forum on Compliance and Governance in Beirut, picking up exactly where the Forum leaves off. The Forum asks how compliance and governance functions stay ahead of a changing risk landscape. This program answers the next question every delegate is already asking privately: what happens to that governance model when the systems making decisions are no longer just tools, but autonomous agents. It is the natural extension of the Forum agenda.
Over 70% of banks are already piloting or deploying autonomous agents in fraud detection, credit decisions, and back-office operations, yet the compliance and governance functions charged with overseeing them are still working from playbooks built for static models and human-reviewed automation. This program is built for exactly that function: the compliance officers, risk officers, regulatory affairs leads, and supervisors who will be asked, when an agent acts on a bank›s behalf, to explain why, and to whom. It is not a technology briefing. It is a two-day working session that leaves participants with a mapped regulatory and liability landscape, a practiced set of governance controls built on the Five Pillars of Agentic Governance, and a scored institutional readiness profile using the Agentic Readiness Model (ARM).
GOVERNING THE AUTONOMOUS BANK
Agentic AI, Governance for the Compliance and Governance Community
• Understand the new risk taxonomy agentic AI introduces, the Accountability Gap, the Opacity Problem, and the Speed Problem, and why traditional compliance and audit cycles cannot keep pace with agent-speed decisions. • Map the global and regional regulatory and liability landscape governing agentic AI in financial services, including the EU AI Act, the EU Product Liability Directive, DORA, Basel-aligned model risk expectations, US state AI liability law, and Gulf-region central bank guidance. • Apply the Five Pillars of Agentic Governance, Controlled Agency, Human Oversight Models, Transparency and Traceability, Agent Identity and Registry, and Continuous Monitoring, to build real compliance and risk controls. • Draft a working Agent Authority Matrix, an Agent Registry entry, and an AI Governance Board charter, then stress-test that charter in a live boardroom crisis simulation. • Complete a full ARM (Agentic Readiness Model) assessment across Strategy, Governance, Technology, Data, Talent, and Culture, and leave with a prioritized action.
Duration and Format
Two days, 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM each day, five hours of instructional time per day with two 15-minute breaks, no separate lunch block. Delivered in-person or as a live virtual intensive directly following the conference. Class size is capped to preserve the workshop and simulation format, recommended maximum of 30 participants.

• Apply the Five Pillars of Agentic Governance, Controlled Agency, Human Oversight Models, Transparency and Traceability, Agent Identity and Registry, and Continuous Monitoring, to build real compliance and risk
controls.
• Draft a working Agent Authority Matrix, an Agent Registry entry, and an AI Governance Board charter, then stress-test that charter in a live boardroom crisis simulation.
