Regulators have pursued a widening range of enforcement priorities and targets after resolving benchmark rigging cases. While some regulators issued fewer fines in 2016 than previous years, their overall enforcement activity has not slowed down. The SEC in particular ramped up enforcement, pursuing not only major fraud cases but also smaller legal infractions. Regulators have also expanded into new areas of focus through landmark cases involving failures to file suspicious activity reports, acting as an unregistered broker, and lacking proper client asset controls. Additionally, regulators increasingly target individuals rather than just companies through accountability regimes.
HOW REGULATION IS DAMAGING COMPETITION IN ASSET MANAGEMENTGary Mead
This document discusses how increasing financial regulation is damaging competition in the UK asset management sector. It finds that regulatory burdens have increased compliance costs disproportionately for small and medium-sized firms, making it difficult for new startups to enter the market. The number of compliance officers has more than doubled since 2001 while the number of asset managers has declined by around 20%. The document puts forth several recommendations to make regulation more proportionate and encourage growth of small entrepreneurial firms, including reducing authorization wait times, appointing dedicated regulators to advise firms, and lowering capital requirements for startups. Overall it argues that further regulation alone cannot replace the need for a culture of aligning interests between firms and their clients to improve performance and reduce risks.
The FCA Business Plan for 2016/17 outlines 7 priorities that are carried over from last year: pensions, financial crime, wholesale markets, advice, innovation/technology, culture/governance, and treatment of existing customers. The plan emphasizes continuing themes of complex business models, acting in customers' interests, and encouraging new technology. Key responses include implementing new regulations on markets and financial crime, focusing on culture and accountability, and protecting customers in advice, pensions and insurance. Brexit is also addressed, with the FCA considering potential short-term market volatility and longer term consequences depending on future UK-EU relations.
Regulators on the Move – Recent Treasury and Comptroller Actions: How They Af...Winston & Strawn LLP
This document summarizes recent regulatory actions and initiatives that affect financial institutions and their boards of directors. It discusses a Treasury report on nonbank financial companies and fintech, the OCC's announcement allowing fintech companies to apply for national bank charters, the BCFP's participation in an international fintech regulatory cooperation group, and other related developments. The actions reflect a changing landscape with increasing fintech competition and opportunities for banks through partnerships with innovative companies. Banks will need to carefully navigate the uncertainties of these overlapping and possibly conflicting regulatory initiatives.
This Seminar will initiate a reflection regarding the extent to which innovation within the Financial Technology (FinTech) sector can and should be regulated.
The case will be illustrated with examples of the UK and EU market (e.g. the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)’s Project ‘Innovate’ and the European Commission’s Single European Payment Area (SEPA)) and the implications for innovation will be discussed.
This will be complemented by introducing an Asian perspective as to the capacity of specific jurisdictions to frame and catalyse innovation, focusing on specific challenges and opportunities in Mainland China and Hong Kong.
The document discusses financial regulation and why it is important, focusing on regulations for banks. It addresses eight categories of banking regulations: (1) government safety nets like FDIC insurance that aim to protect depositors but can encourage moral hazard; (2) restrictions on asset holdings and capital requirements to reduce risk; (3) bank supervision through chartering and examinations; (4) assessing risk management; (5) disclosure requirements to provide transparency; (6) consumer protections; (7) restrictions on competition (now eliminated); and (8) lessons from the 1980s financial crisis when deregulation increased risks. While regulations aim to promote stability, they also sometimes introduce new problems or are insufficient to prevent crises.

The document discusses financial regulation and its purposes. It addresses why the financial system and banks specifically are highly regulated sectors. Regulations aim to maintain market confidence, financial stability, and consumer protection. However, regulations can also create unintended problems like moral hazard. The document outlines eight categories of banking regulations and analyzes examples like government safety nets and capital requirements, discussing their goals and potential issues. Overall, financial regulation pursues important objectives but also presents challenges in policymaking and supervision.

The real cost of KYC & AML compliance for the financial sector - Ondato.pdfNehmeh Taouk elMeaaz
The document discusses the real costs of KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance for financial institutions. It finds that major European banks spend on average €14,250,000 per year on AML-related costs, with 40% (€5.7 million) spent specifically on KYC compliance. Banks employ an average of 77 KYC officers and spend €17,008 per day on labor costs for these specialists. While technology could help automate and streamline compliance work, most banks only allocate 26% of their KYC budgets to technological solutions. The cost of non-compliance, through regulatory penalties, is estimated to be much higher at $14
This document discusses financial regulation and outlines eight categories of banking regulations. It notes that regulations aim to maintain market confidence, financial stability, and consumer protection. Regulations also seek to reduce financial crime and regulate foreign participation in financial markets. The document provides examples of regulations like government safety nets, capital requirements, bank supervision, and consumer protections. However, it acknowledges that regulations can sometimes create new problems like moral hazard and reduced efficiency and competition.
I spoke at the Emerging Payments Conference, http://tinyurl.com/zxzqppd, on "The Myth of an Unregulated Fintech Marketplace," discussing compliance & regulatory challenges facing Fintech.
This document discusses regulatory issues for fintech companies. It summarizes that while fintech provides benefits, it is heavily regulated similarly to banks. It notes many fintech companies partner with banks, which subjects them to banking compliance requirements through this relationship. Finally, it argues that the regulatory structure of banking, such as the ability to operate across state lines, gives banks advantages over fintech companies, not necessarily less regulation.
In the last few years, the financial markets have undergone dramatic change. While some of this is down to natural evolution, much of the change can be directly attributed to new rules introduced in the wake of the 2007 crisis. Regulators, legislators and central bank governors have been determined to avert another bubble bursting or an unexpected event that could threaten markets. Lawmakers have targeted key financial practices for reform, radically altering the expectations and behavior of industry participants. The combination of the Dodd-Frank Act, European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), MiFID ll and Basel lll signify the biggest regulatory change in decades. These reforms have resulted in major change to how financial products are traded, settled, collateralized and reported, resulting in deep and ongoing structural changes to the markets.
There is no doubt that these new rules are directly impacting buy-side firms — be they asset managers, hedge funds, insurance companies or pension funds. But while the changes have certainly brought challenges, they have also brought opportunities. Firms that can proactively evaluate structural and operational dislocations in the marketplace and tailor business models to leverage the opportunities while addressing the challenges will be in the best position to stand apart from their competitors. Revised business models call for revisions to supporting processes and systems. Buy-side firms should look to re-architect their processes and technology infrastructure, with a goal to strengthen risk control and oversight, enhance transparency and improve efficiency of front-to-back office control functions.
The credit crisis, and the regulatory response it spawned have fundamentally reshaped financial markets for buy-side firms. But while the changes have brought about challenges, they have also ushered in opportunities. The key to success will be the speed with which firms are able to understand the changing marketplace and adapt their business models to align with the changes.
Duff & Phelps’ Global Enforcement Review (GER) 2017, looks beyond just the words, policies and intentions of the world’s financial services regulators. Drawing from data published by the key regulators in the U.S., UK and Hong Kong, as well as commentary and insight from around the globe, this report examines those policies in practice: How they invest, when they act and what they do.
Conduct Risk. Assessing risk and identifying cultural drivers for clear defin...Compliance Consultant
Conduct Risk is sweeping the financial services world and catching many risk manager out as there is still a lack of understanding.
Our Compliance Manual is available at http://bit.ly/ComplianceManualTemplate
Risk management need to determine the corporate risk philosophy and appetite. To assess or understand the risk philosophy, try to comprehend the organisation's culture, values and environment. The way business operations are conducted on a daily basis and the organisation’s strategy are typically good indicators where you can find the company risk philosophy. Assess whether business has an aggressive, innovative, typical or conservative attitude towards risks for achieving business goals.
Risk appetite is simply the amount of risk which the organisation is willing to take to undertake business activities and achieve the business objectives, where Conduct Risk is concerned this has to include good customer outcomes. A simple question to ask the board of members could be “What amount of reported mismanagement or public uproar would make you uncomfortable if it appeared in the business newspapers?”
Consolidate the various risk exposures from the risk department's identified risks and present them to the board. Finally, assess whether the company’s internal perception and rhetoric on risk philosophy and appetite are consistent with the board and other stakeholder's viewpoints. Realign the two where required to prepare the annual strategy.

This document discusses regulatory initiatives in financial technology (fintech) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It covers the definition and history of fintech, its potential impacts, and key regulatory challenges and responses. Fintech is defined as technological change in how business and financial activities are conducted. Key challenges for regulators include the fast pace of innovation, lack of experience among some fintech firms, and ensuring an appropriate regulatory balance between objectives like consumer protection and market growth. The document recommends approaches like regulatory analysis, innovation sandboxes, global standards, and building supervisory capacity to help address these challenges.

F
inancial markets and new products continue to evolve rapidly against an ever tightening regulatory backdrop.
The recent and ongoing probes and investigations by national and global regulators, coupled with a sharp
escalation in the number of claims by disgruntled clients, are resulting in a high stream of litigation and massive
regulatory fines and penalties. Misconduct, when it comes to light, can lead to costly legal battles, criminal liabilities
and reputational devastation. The revelation that a number of institutions are being investigated by regulators across
the globe raises an alarming spectre of copycat litigation across multiple jurisdictions.
The total cost of litigation for the 16 largest global banks since 2010 equals
a record £205.6bn of fines, settlements and provisions – up almost a fifth from
the previous year (Source: CCP Research Foundation Annual Study)
LIBOR fixing is a hot topic in particular with the Hayes “game changer” verdict that is dividing opinion. The conviction
paves the way to for more individuals being charged. With the slew of high-profile cases currently going through the
Courts, it is widely predicted that the worst of the litigation is still to come.
Building upon C5’s stellar reputation for regulatory enforcement events, this timely conference will focus on the most
complex legal and business challenges affecting high risk investigation and enforcement areas for financial institutions.
Benefit from thought leadership on contentious regulatory issues delivered to you directly by regulators, claimants and
defendants including:
• Toughening the regulation around rigging benchmarks without impairing their usefulness
• Formulating an effective response to damages claims resulting from cartel findings
• Confidentiality, privilege and disclosure of communications between financial institutions and regulators
• Fair Markets Review and possible regulatory litigation response
• The implications of recent landmark cases on the concept of contractual estoppel
• LIBOR criminal prosecution and actions against individuals
• Criminal violations in connection with a global FX manipulation scheme
• Mis-selling of interest rate swaps by reference to LIBOR and possible unwinding of a legal settlement
• Actionable measures to prevent a corporate culture being dominated by “a few bad apples” and to turn traders
into the first line of defence against possible breaches in regulatory compliance
• Responding to the increasing importance of cyber security inspections from the regulators
