Experience

Guidepost Solutions was appointed by the Federal Court in Chicago on the recommendation of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice as the Independent Monitor of BP in accordance with its consent order and deferred prosecution agreement issued as a result of a settlement over allegations of market manipulation by BP’s U.S. energy trading operation. The three year assignment involved a comprehensive review and evaluation of the compliance controls in place to oversee trading activities. In addition, the consent order required an operational audit of the controls in place to detect and prevent inappropriate trading behavior.
