Thomson Reuters Accelus 7th Annual Compliance Awards Announced

London, July 7, 2011 – Thomson Reuters announced today that the 7th Annual Compliance Awards will be presented on 17 November 2011 in a ceremony at the Dorchester, Park Lane, London.

The Annual Compliance Awards were created in 2004 to recognise the successes and achievements of compliance professionals from across the financial services industry and supporting professional services firms.

Nominations for 2011 awards are currently being taken by Thomson Reuters Governance, Risk and Compliance (accelus.thomsonreuters.com). Nominations in the 11 categories can be submitted online at: http://accelus.thomsonreuters.com/awards2011.

Since their launch, the Awards have become a social focal point of the compliance professionals' calendar. Last year, more than 350 compliance professionals and their support teams gathered to celebrate their achievements – on the back of a year of tremendous regulatory change and challenge.

David Craig, president, Thomson Reuters Governance, Risk and Compliance, said: "Thomson Reuters is delighted to be supporting the Awards as they enter their seventh year. In a year of such enormous regulatory change and the greater challenges presented by the global business environment, it's important to reward and applaud the compliance community and the outstanding individuals, teams and support players who work hard to safeguard the integrity of their businesses and position them for continued growth and success. We place the compliance community at the heart of what we do, and recognising and celebrating their achievements together is an honour."
