With a raft of regulatory changes coming into force over the last few years, financial firms have incurred many system, process, policy and procedure changes. Overseeing and managing all of the moving pieces presents a challenge for compliance teams. How can Senior Management and Compliance Officers be confident that their governance, risk, and compliance framework is current, sufficiently comprehensive and ultimately effective to avoid regulatory scrutiny?
Following the conviction of a former compliance officer of a major investment bank, the FCA raises concerns on the control of access to inside information. We examine the regulator's findings and recommendations, and what this means for financial services firms.
A survey conducted on preparation for the FCA’s Senior Managers and Certification Regime, (SM&CR) has revealed that most firms have significant work to do, as they prepare for its extension to all authorised firms on 9 December 2019.
The U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will collect data regarding non-U.S. residents’ holdings of securities of U.S. issuers via Form TIC SHL. This mandatory collection is conducted every five years. The filing deadline is August 30, 2019, and data must be reported as of June 30, 2019.
Sexual harassment and other forms of “non-financial misconduct” are now on equal footing with types of financial misconduct with the FCA. Firms and employees are at risk of regulatory sanctions for failure to fulfill the FCA’s evolving diversity and inclusion expectations.
A company that effects transactions in digital asset securities for its own account or the accounts of others must register as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, these companies must meet the requirements of Rule 15c3-3 (the “Customer Protection Rule”) if they intend to custody digital asset securities.
