Belgium’s Financial Sector Boosts Compliance and Ethics Efforts

As the global financial industry continues to evolve, the importance of robust compliance and ethics practices has never been more critical. In response, Euroclear, a leading provider of Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI) services, is ramping up its efforts to ensure the integrity and reputation of the financial markets.

Compliance, Risk Management, and Audit: The Backbone of Euroclear’s Efforts

At the heart of this endeavour are the Compliance, Risk Management, and Audit divisions, which work together to provide guidance on ethics, cyber security, financial crime, and sanctions. This ensures that Euroclear remains compliant with existing laws and regulations across its global operations.

“We are highly regulated, and our teams are dedicated to providing expert guidance on a broad range of topics,” said a spokesperson for the company. “We believe that this is essential not only for our own success but also for the stability and trustworthiness of the financial system as a whole.”

Compliance & Ethics Division

The Compliance & Ethics division is responsible for advising on combating financial crime across the Euroclear group, including sanctions compliance. This team consists of experienced subject matter experts who work closely with colleagues across the business to provide expert guidance.

Risk Management Division

Meanwhile, the Risk Management division operates as part of Euroclear’s second line of defence, providing robust oversight of risk-taking activities such as IT services, cyber monitoring, and data handling. With a team of over 100 risk professionals based across several locations in Europe, this division plays a critical role in supporting Euroclear’s strategy.

Internal Audit

Euroclear Internal Audit is another key area of focus, with a dynamic team of over 60 people operating from Brussels, London, and Paris. This team provides independent and objective assurance on governance, risk management, and internal control to the Board.
