**About Compliance**

Compliance operates as one team to drive the right customer outcomes and protect the integrity of the financial services markets through innovation. Please visit our website here for more information.

Compliance at Barclays is located across 31 Countries with approximately 1400 employees. It oversees all compliance activities across Barclays, including all regions in which we do business. The world is changing, and we need to too. We are making a paradigm shift to the way we operate, returning to the basics of ethical banking. Our vision is to become the “Go-To Bank”, to be the role model for the banking industry. Along with our core values, we have introduced the balanced scorecard which will help us to measure our success against our “Go-To” vision, giving all our colleagues clarity around what they should focus their energy on.

Compliance is an independent ‘second line of defence’. It is absolutely at the heart of the Barclays “Go-To” vision. We are on a journey to achieving this vision, where positive changes have already been realised. We will act as the ‘guiding light’ for Barclays:

- Being an independent control for the bank
- Being a world class global compliance function
- Driven by the skilled and empowered individuals in Compliance who are focused on doing the right thing
- Reporting directly into the board and being a role model for the banking industry

Our drive for excellence is work in progress - it’s about doing the best we can today and doing even better tomorrow. It’s about being proud of our achievements and honest about the things that need to change. People are a key component of the success of Compliance and are expected to play a central role in business decision-making, with the ability to lead and be a key component in complex projects. In taking proactive judgement, continuously challenging and anticipating risks, compliance employees are the individuals that senior management of the firm significantly value as an essential contributor and partner when key decisions are being made.

The Compliance people strategy is focused on attracting, retaining and developing talented and capable employees by engaging them in fulfilling roles; in an environment that is empowering and rewarding. Individual career development is supported by an externally recognised Compliance Career Academy and underpinned by the right methodology and focus on internal mobility, reward, assessment and training.
