Job description

CIB GF&BM UK Legal Entity Control – Regulatory Deliverables & Initiatives - Associate

DESCRIPTION

Legal Entity Controllers within CIB GF&BM have primary responsibility for financial reporting and ensuring financial integrity within all Corporate & Investment Bank UK based legal entities, as well as ensuring a strong control environment exists as it relates to all businesses, products and operational areas that impact the UK financial accounts. They are responsible for standalone US Regulatory Reporting as well as preparation and filing of local statutory accounts to Companies House.

As part of the UK LEC Regulatory & Initiatives team, we are responsible for regulatory deliverables impacting the UK Legal Entities such as firm-wide and local Recovery and Resolution (R&R), ICAAP, JPM Securities plc Solvent Wind Down.

The team is responsible for planning, managing and ensuring quality control execution of Recovery & Resolution content and deliverables. The role is responsible for a variety of day-to-day activities in support of the development and ongoing maintenance of firm-wide Resolution Plan.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires large, systemically important financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase to submit Board-approved Recovery & Resolution Plans ("RRPs"; a.k.a. Living Wills) to US regulators biennially.  Recovery Plans need to demonstrate how the firm would recover if the firm were to experience significant decreases in capital and liquidity as a result of a severe, crisis event.  Resolution Plans need to demonstrate how JPM would be resolved in an orderly way (i.e., without causing a major market disruption), if the company ever became bankrupt.  These plans are a strategic priority for the firm as failure to produce comprehensive, credible plans could lead to more stringent capital, leverage or liquidity requirements, and ultimately, to possible firm-wide structural/organizational changes.
