Interim Compliance Director

The role of the Compliance Director has greatly increased in the past 5 – 7 years, with organisations aware that they are required to meet the demands set by increasing regulation across their sector. It is not uncommon now for a Compliance Director to be represented on the main Board of a company.

Recently publicised high profile fines by the FSA and company meltdowns because of poor accounting practices have only fuelled the pressure on companies to address their regulatory policy. The fact that the Approved Person’s ruling puts other executives at risk has dramatically increased the responsibilities that a company places on its Compliance Director.

Compliance has historically been perceived as an unglamorous role in any company, particularly within Financial Services. This has attributed to a definitive shortage of high quality regulatory specialists who can effectively undertake the demands placed upon the modern Compliance Director. Many of today’s regulatory issues and challenges are new. It is becoming more unusual for companies to have the ideal mix of experienced Compliance Director who understands the old and the new, as well as having the experience at Board level to set and deliver regulatory policy change across a large organisation. Many companies would find that an easier solution would be to purchase a short term compliance expert to advise and implement the changes required to achieve and maintain complaiiant status.
