What Does a Compliance Professional Do?

The person leading a compliance regulatory function will have to internalise conflicts and exercise supreme judgement in balancing the need to allow its business to flourish in an increasingly complex regulatory environment, whilst avoiding the potentially devastating consequences of non-compliance.

Why Is Regulatory Compliance Recruitment Important?

The regulatory compliance sector is one that is constantly evolving, making it a very interesting field to work in. Every year, new regulations and rules are being introduced, meaning compliance professionals must always be on top of the ever-changing sector to properly assess how any regulatory update can affect a business and its activities.

Ex-Morgan Stanley Napkin Eating Broker to Plead Guilty

A former Morgan Stanley MS.N stockbroker accused of a three-man insider trading scheme in which one of his co-conspirators allegedly wrote stock tips on napkins before eating them has agreed to plead guilty, according to a court filing. Vladimir Eydelman has reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in New Jersey, U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy Waldor said in an order filed on Thursday granting a 60-day continuance to allow time to schedule his plea. Eydelman was charged with the $5.6 million scheme alongside two other men: Frank Tamayo, a Brooklyn, New York, mortgage broker, and Steven Metro, then a managing clerk at New York law firm Simpson Thatcher & Bartlett. According to prosecutors, Metro passed tips about the firm’s clients to Tamayo, a friend and former law school classmate, at bars or coffee shops, where Metro would write down the ticker symbols of stocks to be purchased on napkins or sticky notes.
