The long-awaited Volcker Rule is the latest section of the Dodd-Frank U.S. regulatory overhaul to have a big impact on companies. There is little doubt that the Volcker Rule is going to require yet more regulatory-driven investment by organizations, increasing the cost of compliance even further. Banks are concerned about what a ban on proprietary trading, and the resulting compliance framework they must put in place, will mean for their businesses. Smaller financial services organizations wonder what the knock-on effects of the Volcker Rule will mean for them.

 

Several areas of this rule have yet to be determined, which makes preparation an even greater challenge for financial institutions. With the Volcker Rule taking effect in June 2014, how are banks preparing to meet the looming deadlines?

 

Read this whitepaper to help you:

•    Identify what infrastructure demands are required to meet the Volcker Rule 

•    Understand how U.S. and non-U.S. banks will need to modify their compliance programs

•    Discover the metric reporting requirements, compliance exams and testing deadlines

•    Understand the enforcement process and what the potential penalties will be

     for non-compliance 

•    Learn about the requirements for chief executive attestation
