Legal and Management Controls
What We Do
Legal and Management Controls help Goldman Sachs fulfill its commitments to regulatory agencies as well as manage all legal aspects of our business and assess the firm's control environment.
Legal
The mission of the Legal Department is to provide the highest quality legal advice, protect the firm’s financial well-being and reputation, and assist businesses in evaluating risk associated with their activities and completing transactions. The Legal Department has four primary locations, in New York, London, Tokyo and Hong Kong, and has a presence in eight other cities: Bangalore, Beijing, Chicago, Moscow, Mumbai, Sao Paolo, Seoul and Singapore.
Management Controls
The Management Controls Department (MCD) is an integral part of the firm’s risk management infrastructure. As the firm’s internal audit function, we provide independent opinions on the firm’s control environment, and thereby assist the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. As a valued controls advisor to the firm's management, we help to commercially manage control risk throughout business operations, product launches, implementation of technology systems, geographic expansion and other strategic ventures.
