Market Services

The continued imposition of significant fines and public prosecutions globally for transaction reporting failures, insider dealing and market manipulation serves to emphasize the ongoing commitment of regulatory bodies to meet their statutory objectives of protecting and enhancing market integrity, reducing financial crime and ensuring the proper and effective supervision of financial service providers and markets.
