What are the tasks of the compliance function?

What are the tasks of the compliance function? The identification of the essential legal regulations and requirements, the non-compliance with which can lead to a risk to the assets of the institute, is carried out by the compliance function at regular intervals, taking risk aspects into account.

The compliance function shall work towards the implementation of effective procedures for compliance with the legal regulations and requirements essential for the institution and corresponding controls.

Furthermore, the compliance function shall support and advise the management with regard to compliance with these legal regulations and requirements.

 

#1 What are the tasks of the compliance function?

In principle, the compliance function reports directly to the Executive Board. It can also be linked to other control units, provided there is a direct reporting line to the management.

In order to fulfil its tasks, the compliance function may also have recourse to other functions and units.

Depending on the size of the institution as well as the type, scope, complexity and risk content of the business activities, the compliance function is to be located in an area independent of the market and trading divisions.
