People in The News < Back Compliance : Sarbanes Oxley : Technology Regulatory Evangelist Joins FrontBridge
As regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Gramm-Leach-Bliley in the United States to the Data Protection and Freedom of Information Acts in the United Kingdom place companies under intense pressure to modify antiquated email communication policies, FrontBridge?s comprehensive hosted solutions help companies mitigate the risk of non-compliance. Current legislation stipulates extensive legal actions, fines, sanctions and possible jail time for organizations and their executives for violations related to the retention and monitoring of electronic communications. Strict enforcement in 2004 included fines and sanctions from the SEC and Federal Trade Commission, including multi-million dollar fines against several well-known financial services firms for failing to produce email to federal regulators. ?There are more than 10,000 regulations around the world and organizations will not be able to plead ignorance regarding applicable laws when enforcement agencies are knocking on their doors,? Goulet stated. ?FrontBridge aims to arm companies with the knowledge they need to successfully utilize outsourced services and protect against corporate malfeasance and potential legislation.? Goulet brings more than 15 years of securities experience with firms trading on the Chicago Board Options Exchange, The Pacific Stock Exchange and the Boston Stock Exchange to the FrontBridge team. While holding his recent position at George K. Baum in Kansas City, MO, Goulet prepared companies for initial and secondary public offerings, specifically with regards to navigating SEC rules. Goulet joins a seasoned team led by Kevin Merritt, vice president of archiving and compliance, that will be committed to email compliance education. FrontBridge Helps Leading Companies Comply with Regulatory Audits Regulatory compliance agencies, from the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) to the SEC, routinely perform audits on company procedures for storing, reviewing and supervising company messaging.
