    Back office staff operate in a continually changing environment. Following the financial
    crisis of 2008, regulators and policy makers have released a multitude of global regulatory
    standards and jurisdictional rules, which are creating additional obligations for mid-back
    office processes in many areas. The Clearing Obligation for OTC derivatives, more stringent
    requirement on collateral and new reporting rules are only some of many concepts that
    will define European clearing market structure and the way back office operations are run
    in the future.
