Description
'Regulation and Compliance in Operations' looks at how regulation affects the operations function by focusing on regulatory issues and
drivers. As regulatory demands ever increasing, it is important for operations teams to be aware of the important regulatory issues
which exist globally.
Like any other part of an organization in the financial services industry, operations has rules and regulations
to comply with. Although many view regulation as being about rooting out rogue traders and controlling speculators, its role is much
more profound than this, and without it many more 'scandals' would undoubtedly occur.
The problem for the regulator is that unless
total oversight of every transaction, account, business and individual can be made, there will always be rogue traders or more recent
examples like Enron and World.Com. As such intense oversight is not practical, the regulator can only do so much, with most of the responsibility
resting with the firms and organizations themselves.
For operations teams their role in protecting the firm stems from their ability
to manage critical processes like reconciliation, asset position agreements and the nostro accounts efficiently and effectively. Regulators
need the help and support of the businesses to have a 'business-friendly environment'. When some abuse the trust placed in them and the
regulatory environment, a 'scandal' or worse occurs, with the result that the majority are penalized as regulators react to criticism
and apply more onerous regulations.
It is often the operations teams that bear most, or at least some, of the repercussions of greater
regulatory oversight of the business. It is therefore vitally important for operations teams to have a firm understanding of the regulatory
issues and drivers. This book will help you gain that understanding, as well as looking at the important regulatory issues in the various
global markets in which your business operates.
