Citing the crucial role compliance serves for not just a company, but financial markets at a whole, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Jo White today pledged to continue agency efforts that support and empower those professionals. That includes escalating enforcement against some firms that fail to maintain adequate the compliance programs and a greater focus on compliance matters by examiners.
White made her remarks during a speech before the National Society of Compliance Professionals at its annual membership meeting in Washington D.C.
