The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) released final guidance Monday on how banks and non-depository financial institutions should vet executives, including chief compliance officers, before and during their employment.
The guidance expands upon an NYDFS proposal in May that cited outdated standards in hiring senior officers, such as only conducting a criminal background check and not a check for conflicts of interest.
Regulated entities are expected to report recruitment-related findings to their board of directors and CCO, according to the final guidance.
