GLEIF Governance

Regulatory Oversight Committee (ROC)



The Regulatory Oversight Committee (ROC) is a group of public authorities from around the globe, established in January 2013, to coordinate and oversee the Global LEI System, a worldwide framework for legal entity identification. In its role as overseer of the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), the ROC ensures that GLEIF upholds the principles of the Global LEI System.

In October 2015, GLEIF and the ROC concluded a Memorandum of Understanding that sets out their mutual understanding of how to implement the governance principles of the Global LEI System and GLEIF Statutes, in particular, the expected division of responsibilities for overseeing various parts of the Global LEI System.

The Memorandum of Understanding also organizes cooperation between the ROC and GLEIF in developing standards for the Global LEI System, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, and coordinates the promotion of the Global LEI System and the use of the LEI.
