Compliance Monitoring Manager

Compliance Monitoring manager

London - 4 days in the office 

The Compliance Monitoring manager reports to the Group Head of Compliance Operations.

Ebury’s Compliance Monitoring Programme (CMP) is part of Ebury’s internal control
framework. Its purpose is to ensure that all items relating to regulatory, central and business
compliance are undertaken in accordance with the regulatory or business requirements as
these are either defined by applicable laws and regulations or the business internal policies
and expectations. The CMP also ensures that the business activity remains within the
business risk appetite.

The objectives of the CMP are:

● Achieve Regulatory Compliance: Everything that will be monitored will aim to help achieve compliance with our regulatory obligations.
● Compliance with our Policies and Procedures: Our monitoring will ensure that our policies and procedures remain compliant on an ongoing basis.
● Manage Risk: Through ongoing monitoring, we can achieve reduction of risk (including residual risk).
● Management Information: Information collection and analysis of data on our ongoing compliance and errors/mistakes/ cases of non-compliance.
● Detection: Helps identify compliance issues before they escalate into significant problems.
● Assurance: Provide assurance to the business that the risks identified are properly monitored and mitigated/managed where required.
● Operation: Ensure that the firm operates within the risk appetite as this has been set by the senior management.

This is a Group Level function. Every authorised entity within the Ebury Group has its own regulatory requirements to perform monitoring which is set at the time of authorisation as part of the regulatory approval to operate. Ebury takes a group-wide risk approach in its application of monitoring with a centralised monitoring team, setting the items which will fall under its monitoring purview and providing the regional and/or local Compliance Officers/MLROs with the ability to request specific items to be monitored. The Compliance Monitoring Manager will need to liaise with regional compliance officers and the Group Regulatory Compliance Advisory function to ensure that the central CMP addresses any relevant local factors that cannot be covered locally.

The scope of the CMP includes, but is not limited to:

● Breaches, Conflicts, Conduct, Complaints;
● Call monitoring;
● Client trade monitoring (MifID or local equivalent);
● Best Execution;
● Mis-selling;
● Client treatment;
● Safeguarding;
● Staff training;
● Limited monitoring of Ebury partners and agents.

● Ongoing development of the CMP, including periodic horizon scanning and risk assessments to ensure that the scope remains complete and accurate.
● Ownership of maintenance and development of the Compliance Monitoring framework including specifications, sample sizes, frequencies, testing plans and scorecards for each element of the CMP.

● Main point of contact for all business requests for the establishment of monitoring items.
● Prepare management information on monitoring activity for relevant committees.
