Compliance Failure: Examples and Lessons
OVERVIEW
On a number of occasions I have been brought in to lead projects
addressing recently discovered compliance failures. We will discuss a
number of these as real case studies. It is more common than you might
think because no one is going to present in a seminar or industry meeting how
they got in trouble, how they worked their way out, and how they dealt with the
relevant regulators. So there is very little learning from mistakes
within the industry. This is a chance to share some of this learning.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
There is increasing discussion that, rather than punish
stockholders, individual officers should be personally held accountable for
their decisions causing failures to act in compliance. Already the
Sarbanes-Oxley law specifically requires that companies, including banks, have
accurate financial reports as well as sound controls as required to assure the
material accuracy of those reports. CEOs and CFOs have to personally sign
statements to that effect and can be charged personally under some
circumstances.
In my career there have been many times when I have been brought
in as a consultant or a Senior Executive to take over non-compliant operations
or to establish projects to fix non-compliant operations. Sometimes this
happened after a specific executive was fired. At other times, we were
able address the problems in time to avoid ending anyone’s career.
It is said that a smart person learns from their mistakes; but a
wise one learns from others’ mistakes. This is a chance to learn from
many other people’s hard experience.
AREAS COVERED
- Common AML compliance failures.
- Extraordinary AML compliance failures (intentional at
the executive level).
- Widespread SOX failures (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) primarily
control breakdowns leading to reconciliation breakdowns and incorrect
reporting.
- A broad failure of licensing controls where the company
providing insurance products in the name of several major banks did not
know which products were licensed is which states.
- For each case we will look at…
- What was the cause of the compliance failure
- How was a problem identified (red-flags, check list
items, audit steps) and communicated internally (escalation process)
- What was done with regard to communication with
regulatory authorities
- What did it take to investigate and address the
failures
- What internal controls and risk mitigation steps were
taken to prevent recurrence
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- What causes compliance failures?
