Compliance, Regulatory Inventory and Traceability, Associate, Dallas

GLOBAL COMPLIANCE AND CONSUMER CORE COMPLIANCE OVERVIEW

Our business principle #2 states: "We are dedicated to complying fully with the letter and spirit of the laws, rules and ethical principles that govern us. Our continued success depends upon unswerving adherence to this standard."

It is the role of Goldman Sachs' Global Compliance Division to help ensure that every employee and client of the firm upholds this principle. Accordingly, the Global Compliance Division is viewed as an integral part of the firm, enabling it to conduct business confidently in complex global markets. Global Compliance prevents, detects, and mitigates compliance, regulatory, and reputational risks across the firm and helps to strengthen the firm's culture of compliance. Compliance accomplishes these through the firm's enterprise-wide risk management program as a part of the firm's second line of defense.

Consumer Product Compliance is a team within the Global Compliance Division and is responsible for executing overall strategy for the consumer compliance program, a component of the firmwide risk management program. This includes program monitoring, issue escalation, communications, regulatory engagements, and resource management. Consumer Product Compliance is at the forefront of delivering robust risk management in adherence with regulatory expectations.
