GLOBAL COMPLIANCE AT GOLDMAN SACHS
At Goldman Sachs, the mandate of Global Compliance is to prevent, detect and mitigate compliance, regulatory, and reputational risk across the firm and help to strengthen the firm’s culture of compliance. Compliance accomplishes this mandate through the firm’s enterprise-wide compliance risk management program.

Compliance provides advice on how to conduct the firm’s business in a manner that complies with the vast array of rules, regulations and regulatory expectations around the globe. Importantly, Compliance plays a key role in reviewing and effectively challenging transactions presenting compliance or reputational risks.
