Baltimore Ballroom 1/2

This session will discuss the challenges of developing an effective compliance program as firms are under pressure to cut costs across the board. The panel will discuss where the compliance department belongs in an organization: reporting to a chief risk officer, a general counsel or the chief executive officer. How effective is the use of technology to provide for training of employees compared to tailored, in-person compliance training programs? Do regulators and/or the firms themselves have concerns that there has been a general decline in ethics among financial services personnel?
