Navigating Global Transformation: 2016-2024

25 YEARS IN COMPLIANCE SERIES: PART 3

Employee Compliance From 2016-2024

In 2016, global regulatory activity surged as several significant regulations were implemented across different regions. This marked the beginning of eight years of extreme global transformation that would push compliance teams to navigate unprecedented challenges and elevate their standards to meet evolving demands. 

Within a single year, the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), the UK Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR), and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Manager-In Charge (MIC) regime were all launched. These regimes follow the 2014 release by the OCC of Heighten Standards intended to enhance supervision and strengthen the governance and risk management practices of large national banks.  

Additionally, the rising demand for whistleblower protection highlights the importance of safeguarding both the company and its employees. Star is committed to the importance of protecting whistleblowers in all corners of the globe and seamlessly integrates their SaaS employee compliance software and platform solutions to solve these issues. 

To support compliance teams, StarCompliance invested in new solutions and acquired market-leading technologies to support the demands of the industry and keep fair market practices alive as the world experiences panic and isolation through COVID-19.
