[26 May 2022] New York - Conduct risk and compliance technology specialist MCO (MyComplianceOffice) has again secured top billing in the RegTech Insight Europe Awards for 2022 as Best Conduct Risk Solution.  The firm won the recognition for their integrated platform that monitors activity at the employee and firm level, as well as interactions with third parties.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has clearly set expectations to ensure that asset managers conduct their business with due skill, care and diligence and that they manage conflicts of interest, between the firm or its employees and its customers or between its customers, fairly. A European asset management firm was recently fined £9.1mn by the FCA for failure to adhere to these principles and effectively manage conflicts of interest.

The regulatory framework for Digital Assets and Cryptocurrencies (Crypto) has been rapidly evolving. Regulators expect that firms play their part to ensure that investing in crypto is as safe as possible for investors and customers or else enforcement will be pursued.

Failure to disclose connected persons and personal relationships as required by firm policies and jurisdictional regulations can lead to significant consequences for both an individual and their firm. Recent events saw two high-profile media executives resign from their jobs because they failed to disclose their relationship under the organization’s disclosure policies, not because of the nature of the relationship itself. 

The MyComplianceOffice platform is a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution that eases Compliance and regulatory burdens for financial services firms. The suites and modules within the platform help firms and Compliance teams to take a proactive approach to Compliance, manage conflicts of interest and conduct risk.
