Sales and Trading Compliance - Within Sales and Trading compliance professionals often specialise in one asset class such as bonds, equities or derivatives. This makes it easier to keep abreast of the latest developments in law and regulation and ensure that all the bank's salespeople and traders are operating within the most current requirements.

Control Room Compliance - Control Room Compliance jobs can require a more holistic view of the bank’s operating procedures, spanning the different asset classes. Such roles seek to ensure Chinese Walls are upheld, and that the bank's restricted lists and watch lists are maintained and complied with.

Monitoring and Surveillance - More and more focus is being placed on the importance of monitoring and surveillance in the banking industry where inappropriate activity is identified through the analysis of trading activity. This could include the identification of insider dealing or market abuse.

Anti-Money Laundering – In a similar way to monitoring and surveillance, AML (Anti-Money Laundering) roles take responsibility for identifying transactions which could be undertaken so that the proceeds of illegal activities are given the appearance of being legitimate.
