My duties at Olympia Trust Company are simple: Ensure that our organization and our clients are complaint with all industry and legal regulations and requirements. What does that mean in plain language? I make sure everyone is operating inside the regulations. If they are not, I provide direction to correct the situation and bring them back onside.

I am involved in various auditing and reviewing activities and operations. I do my review and compare each against the rules and regulations for each provincial Business Corporations Act, national rules under the Securities Act, the different Canadian Stock Exchanges, and where required the SEC rules in the USA.

My day-to-day work is a mix of reviewing rule updates with law firms and regulators. I review the court rulings that have been made and how they might apply to our company and our clients. At other times, I will be involved in auditing activities within our company, and attending seminars/webinars about anything related to this work. I also work on requests from companies and lawyers to see if an action would be considered compliant. If I determine the action is not compliant, I work to find ways to complete the action within the rules.

If we find a rule/regulation has been broken, my job is to figure out how it was broken and what has to be done to get back on side. I will then provide guidance to prevent this from happening in the future. As a result, a lot of my work is learning, listening, planning, and problem solving in advance and in the moment. There are no special tools for this job. Just a lot of reading and problem solving. Being good at web searches helps too!
