Monitoring Employee Stock Exchange Transactions

When employees have access to insider information, conflicts of interest can possibly ensue.  Banks must monitor their employees' trading activities and stock market transactions.

Rules for monitoring employee trades may include:

  • Compliance with minimum holding periods/prohibition of day trading
  • Limits on the maximum number of transactions per unit of time
  • Compliance with restrictions on certain employees
  • Monitoring general trading prohibitions, such as interests in the company.

The MAID (Market Abuse/Insider Dealing Detection) software solution monitors employee stock trades with the help of Visual Rules technology and highlights transactions that do not correspond to the rules.
