MyComplianceOffice
(MCO) announced today at the annual FINRA
Conference
in Washington, D.C. that Piper
Jaffray Companies
(NYSE: PJC), a leading global investment bank and
asset management firm, has selected MCO’s conduct risk management
platform.

The MyComplianceOffice platform enables firms to demonstrate effective
risk management of potential misconduct to regulators using state-of-the
art technology and optimal security protocols. Firms partnering with MCO
can efficiently and cost-effectively automate their compliance ethics
policies, including monitoring of employee, client and third-party
business activities.

Piper Jaffray will utilize the platform’s Know Your Employee (KYE)
module to help monitor employee personal trading, gift and
entertainment, and outside business activities (OBA). The MCO KYE
solution will provide Piper Jaffray with a complete view of employee
activity in these areas via a robust, but easy-to-understand dashboard.
It will also provide the firm with the ability to customize forms and
perform attestations. And using MCO’s solution, Piper Jaffray can ensure
OBA reporting data is accurate, non-redundant, and directly connected to
FINRA’s OBA reporting system.

“We chose MCO because their solution is comprehensive and customizable,
yet also easy-to-use and integrates with our technology systems. Its
modular approach allows us to meet our existing employee conduct
management needs and has the potential to help us manage risk across the
entire organization in the future,” said Shawn Quant, chief information
officer at Piper Jaffray.

“We are excited to provide Piper Jaffray with a compliance solution to
manage its code of conduct activities and ultimately lower compliance
management costs,” said Brian Fahey, CEO of MyComplianceOffice. “MCO is
committed to working with large global firms, adapting our solutions to
meet unique business needs and implementing in an expedient,
user-friendly way to get clients up and running quickly.
