2. WHAT IS A COMPLIANCE OFFICER? A compliance officer stands at the crossroads between auditing, internal control and management's legal responsibilities, and is to some extent the guardian of the bank's code of conduct. The compliance officer acts completely independently and his/her role is to supply the bank's top management with all the necessary information on whether their decisions comply with the law, the professional rules and regulations and with the internal directives or with those of the regulatory authorities. He/she must also take the initiative to check that the various departments abide by the bank's code of ethics. Furthermore, he/she must make sure that the staff is well informed of the code of ethics and that technical and commercial standards of the bank's products comply with it, too.
A coveted position ...
In Switzerland, the two largest banks, as well as Geneva's Cantonal Bank, already have a compliance officer who is more than the head of the legal department. One of Geneva's leading banks for asset management is also about to create a post for compliance officer. His/her role is vital, for he/she needs to see to it that his/her employer does not incur any risk regarding the bank's reputation, for reputation is one of the bank's most precious assets. However, this type of risk is extremely hard to qualify and quantify. It may arise when the regulatory authorities publish sanctions imposed on a bank as an additional penalty. When such matters become public, the consequences for the bank's relations with its customers can be disastrous.
The position of a compliance officer is not mandatory under Swiss law. The function was created in the United States and was motivated by the multiplication of banking regulations and regulatory authorities, i.e. by that of audits and auditors, with which and with whom banks are now having to deal with as they do with customers. Their increasingly difficult legal environment places them in a situation fraught with the risk of maybe having to pay heavy fines. The task of a compliance officer is to help the bank negotiate the regulatory shoals successfully.
