National regulators strengthen their supervision of the compliance function

Key Points: 
  • National regulators strengthen their supervision of the compliance function
    The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s financial markets regulator and supervisor, has today published its follow-up report to the peer review on certain aspects of the compliance function under MiFID I.
  • The report shows that, overall, the National Competent Authorities (NCAs) assessed improved their practices following the 2017 peer reviews findings and recommendations.
  • Two NCAs, CySEC and CBI, are encouraged to continue this process in the following manner:
    - CySEC should consolidate its supervisory approach to ensure ongoing supervisory focus on firms’ compliance function
    - CBI should structurally integrate all elements of the ESMA Guidelines on the compliance function under MiFID into its supervisory approach and increase its controls on the compliance function of non-banking investment for firms.
  • Next steps
    As the compliance function remains a key element to promote sound and compliant behaviour by firms, all NCAs should continue monitoring the effective application of the Guidelines and the effectiveness of the supervisory practices implemented, taking supervisory action when needed.
