Commissioner Paul S. Atkins, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
Thank you, Karen, for that kind introduction. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your Compliance Summit. Let me start by saying that the views that I express here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of the Securities and Exchange Commission or my fellow commissioners.
Now that the Olympics are over, we can all stop dreaming of what it would be like to hurtle down a steep Italian mountain on a luge, effortlessly negotiate a giant slalom course, land a perfectly executed triple lutz, or throw the winning curling stone. We can turn our minds back to the slightly less exhilarating, but critically important work of compliance. Although your efforts are unlikely to be awarded with a gold medal, you should be applauded for your diligent commitment to compliance on behalf of investors — your customers.
