Barry Thompson
Barry has worked in the financial services industry for over three decades,
holding the positions of security officer, compliance officer, treasurer, senior
vice president and executive vice president. He is the only fraud educator in
our industry who has worked in senior management positions, which affords him
unique insight into financial institutions.
During his career, Barry
has handled over 900 security cases. He has been involved with investigations
and prosecutions on the federal, state and local levels, and has testified
before grand juries, county courts, bankruptcy courts, family courts and the New
York State Supreme Court. Barry is also an internationally-recognized speaker
who has appeared at many financial industry conferences. He has made
presentations on communications, leadership, compliance and financial
institution security - including presentations in Brussels to European bankers
on internal fraud, at the United Nations on identity theft and to Japanese
bankers on bank security.
Recognizing the increasing importance of
compliance in the financial industry, he became a "Certified Regulatory
Compliance Manager" in 1997. Barry's professional and educational background,
along with his "Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager" designation, provide
him with a depth of experience that very few in the financial services industry
can match.
