Responsible Officers

Definition

Responsible Officers are senior individuals within an organization legally accountable for ensuring compliance with specific regulations. These designated persons hold significant authority and are tasked with overseeing the implementation and adherence to regulatory requirements, particularly in financial services and digital asset firms. Their responsibilities often include anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, risk management, and consumer protection protocols. Failure to meet these obligations can result in severe penalties for both the individual and the organization.
