BCS GM as a member of Steering Committee of the Securities Houses Compliance Officers Group (SHCOG)

Wendy Langridge, Head of Compliance & Corporate Governance, BCS Global Markets has joined the Steering Committee of the Securities Houses Compliance Officers Group (SHCOG), London’s leading Compliance Officers Industry Group. In joining the committee, Wendy sits alongside representatives from EU and US Tier 1 banks and financial institutions such as Deutsche Bank, Nomura International, Macquarie, UBS, HSBC Merrill Lynch and Barclays and is the first ever committee member to be invited from a Russian Institution.

SHCOG was set up in 1986 as an educational body, run “for Compliance by Compliance” with members of more than 100 international financial institutions. The group’s primary objective is to provide a forum for further education and training of compliance officers and foster networking between compliance officers from different firms and countries.

As well as holding monthly events, it runs TECC (The European Compliance Conference), a leading international forum featuring senior speakers from the EU Commission, Regulators, Law Firms and Compliance Practitioners and attended by firms from over 20 countries.

Wendy Langridge said: This is an excellent opportunity to further enhance BCS’s regulatory profile and collaborate with senior regulatory practitioners to develop programmes for the global compliance community.
