Compliance

The state of being in accordance with the relevant Federal or regional authorities and their requirements. In the context of financial services, the most important Compliance rules come from the securities and Exchange Commission. Most large financial services companies have Compliance teams whose role is to take an independent stance in making sure that the company is following all the necessary rules and regulations.
