  • New York State Department Of Financial Services Fines Barclays Bank Plc And New York Branch $15 Million Following Whistleblower Investigation - DFS Investigation Found Shortcomings In Barclays’ Governance, Controls And Corporate Culture Relating To The Bank’s Whistleblowing Function After CEO Personally Sought To Identify Whistleblowers

    Date 18/12/2018

    Financial Services Superintendent Maria T. Vullo today announced that the Department of Financial Services (DFS) has fined Barclays Bank PLC and its New York branch $15 million for violations of New York Banking Law stemming from a DFS investigation into attempts by the bank’s CEO to identify the author(s) of two whistleblowing letters in contravention of Barclays’ established whistleblowing policies and procedures.  The DFS investigation found that shortcomings in governance, controls and corporate culture relating to Barclays’ whistleblowing function permitted a sequence of events that potentially could have had a detrimental impact on the efficacy of Barclays’ whistleblowing program.  Several members of senior management failed to follow or apply whistleblowing policies and procedures in a manner that protected the CEO and the bank itself.  Limited gaps in the bank’s whistleblowing policies and procedures became apparent during the investigation, and it appears that the cultural transformation that Barclay’s Group Compliance had been working hard to instill in the more than one hundred thousand Barclays employees worldwide, was not nearly complete.
