Activity Calendar
Summer/Autumn 2010
The objective of ECAG is to ensure that the
Eurogiro Community, and thus the Board
members and shareholders, are reasonably
protected against reputation risks incurred by
the regime employed for adherence to AML/
ATF and other KYC related matters. The
responsibilities and role of the Compliance
Audit Group, as defined in the Compliance
Charter approved by the Eurogiro Board, are:
• The maintenance of a regime that
ensures that the Eurogiro Community
adheres to market standards for good
practice within ‘Know your Customer’
and related ’Anti-Money Laundering’ and
Anti-Terrorist Fundi g issues;
• Obtaining confirmation of compliance to
market standards for ‘KYC and AML/ATF’
by customers, prospective customers and
partners;
• Being the Eurogiro Authority on ‘Know
your Customer’ and related AML/ATF
matters;
• Providing consultancy advice and
guidance to Eurogiro entities and
customers of those entities;
• The promotion of compliance awareness.
Although the Compliance Audit Group will
provide advice and guidance to customers
and group entities, the group has no
responsibility for the actual operation of
KYC and AML/ATF systems or procedures.
This remains within the responsibility of the
individual Eurogiro members.
The Compliance Audit Group reports to the
Board of Eurogiro A/S and its responsibilities
cover the entire Eurogiro Group. ECAG
works closely with OAG, the Eurogiro
Operational Advisory Group, on compliance-
related matters.
For those who would like to contact ECAG
in person and want to discuss compliance
related topics, ECAG will be attending the
forthcoming Eurogiro Community Meeting
in May that will be held in Athens. All
members are also welcome to to consult the
compliance-related pages on the Eurogiro
website.
