Compliance challenges for the financial services industry

Comliance officer challenge3-1

Compliance teams in the financial services industry can feel like they face an unfair fight. The sector is under intense regulatory scrutiny with new capital requirements, consumer compliance mandates, and enhanced governance expectations.

Teams must manage a wide range of programs, including Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF), cybersecurity and operational resilience, data privacy and protection, and consumer protection and fair treatment.

Third-party risk management and operational resilience are also key concerns, particularly with dependencies on critical third parties. Managing the compliance risks associated with the use of AI and other emerging technologies adds another layer of complexity.

Key areas of compliance for financial services

Financial services firms are complex enterprises. There are many areas of compliance, ethics, and risk that need to be managed, spanning everything from Anti-Bribery And Corruption (ABAC), to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), to Ethical Conduct and Training. These include:

  • ABAC Compliance: Upholding anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC) laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act.
  • Third-Party Risk Management: Ensuring that third parties, suppliers, and partners comply with relevant laws and standards.
  • Data Protection: Safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations including GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
  • Financial Reporting: Maintaining accuracy and transparency in financial dealings in compliance with regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX).
  • Conflict of Interest Management: Ensuring potential conflicts are disclosed and managed to uphold ethical standards.
  • Regulatory Reporting: Complying with reporting requirements from regulatory bodies such as the SEC and FINRA.
  • Ethical Conduct and Training: Promoting a culture of ethics through comprehensive training programs and codes of conduct.
  • AML Compliance: Ensuring adherence to anti-money laundering regulations like the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and the EU’s AML directives.
  • Continuous Improvement: Regularly updating and enhancing compliance measures.
