Member surveillance

The role of member surveillance

The member surveillance team works closely with market surveillance to ensure that the membership is in full compliance with the rules and regulations by carrying out on-site inspection visits to member firms.  They check that any information provided to market surveillance staff is complete and correct.  Member surveillance liaises with the FSA to avoid both regulatory overlap and regulatory gaps. 

Serious breaches of LME rules will be referred to the LME's enforcement lawyers by market or member surveillance.  Where the possibility of a breach of the rules is not so clear cut, the matter will pass to the LME's head of investigations.
