On June 18, 2014, Chris Brummer, the C. Boyden Gray Fellow on Global Growth and Finance at the Atlantic Council, Erin Murphy, Global Chief Operating Officer of Compliance at BlackRock, and Jens Harpoth, UBS Head of Change Management and Compliance in the Americas, spoke at the Thomson Reuters Compliance & Risk Summit. During the panel, speakers highlighted the challenges facing cross-border firms and institutions operating in multiple jurisdictions and provided best practices and practical advice for compliance officers in New York. A key aspect of Dr. Brummer’s remarks involved tracing some of the key differences in EU and US jurisdictions, many of which were compiled in the Atlantic Council’s well regarded Dangers of Divergence report released earlier this year.
