Shas also served as the head of the compliance examinations unit at Legg Mason, a global asset management firm. \nAs an Associate Director at the PCAOB, Shas negotiated numerous bilateral agreements with foreign regulators providing for cross-border audit oversight and represented the PCAOB in meetings with international audit standard setters. In particular, Shas was instrumental in negotiating an agreement with the Chinese authorities (CSRC and Ministry of Finance) on cross-border enforcement cooperation in 2013. He also participated in a short term secondment at the OECD, where he assisted its Corporate Affairs Division in updating its Principles of Corporate Governance (adopted by the G-20).\nIn a prior capacity as a Senior Sanctions Advisor, Shas served as the Office of Foreign Asset Control’s primary liaison to the securities industry. While at OFAC, he developed compliance guidance for the securities industry, provided subject-matter expertise on securities- and banking-related matters, prepared recommendations regarding appropriate OFAC responses to potential violations of sanctions requirements by financial institutions, and presented at more than 40 conferences throughout the US on compliance with U.S. economic and trade sanctions. During the height of the financial crisis, while at the US Treasury Department, Shas participated in both the development and implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other areas, Shas helped develop the US Treasury Department’s determination on whether to exempt foreign exchange swaps and forwards from the Commodity Exchange Act; he also helped develop the criteria for determining the designations of non-bank SIFIs.\nEarlier in his career, as counsel in the Banking Supervision and Regulation Division of the Federal Reserve Board, he served as one of the lead lawyers on a seminal enforcement action brought against a global financial institution for violations of OFAC sanctions as well as deficiencies in its anti-money laundering program. This settled action marked the first in a series of actions brought by US regulators and law enforcement agencies against global foreign banking entities for violations of OFAC regulations due to conduct involving the “stripping” of the identities of sanctions targets in the processing of dollar clearing wire transactions.\nEvents\n\nSpeaker, \"SEC Virtual Conference 2022: An Accounting \u0026amp; Reporting Update for Public Companies\" (\"Hot Button Issues for Public Companies\"), The Center for Professional Education, Inc., Washington, DC, May 20, 2022\"\nSpeaker, Russian Sanctions - Business \u0026amp; Policy Implications, Electronic Transactions Associations, Washington, DC, March 9, 2022\nSpeaker, “OFAC Webinar: Back to the Basics for Small to Midsized Banks,” BSA Coalition, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Richmond, VA, April 24, 2018\nSpeaker, “Conducting KYC of Third Parties - Best Practices for Conducting Due Diligence,” Virginia Bankers Association, Fairfax, VA, April 17, 2018\nPanelist, International Sanctions Compliance, Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists, New Castle, DE, February 26, 2018\nSpeaker, “The Challenges of Negotiating an Agreement with the Chinese Regulators on Cross-Border Audit Oversight,” China-US Business Alliance, New York City, January 23, 2018\nSpeaker, Annual Anti-Money Laundering and Office of Foreign Assets Control Sanctions Year in Review, ACAMS Virginia Chapter Event, December 12, 2017\nSpeaker, “Strategies for Effective Auditing and Due Diligence of Third Parties in China: Special Focus on Beneficial Ownership,” 8th Global Forum on Anti-Corruption Compliance in High Risk Markets, Washington, DC, July 25-26, 2017\nPanelist, “Banking Compliance,” FCPA Roundtable Discussion, US-China Business Council (USCBC), Washington, DC, May 9, 2017\nSpeaker, “Omnibus Accounts, Trusts and Other Unique Agreements Due Diligence Scenarios: How to Conduct Strong DD to Mitigate Your Risks,” Flagship Conference on Economic Sanctions Enforcement and Compliance, American Conference Institute, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Washington, DC, April 24-26, 2017\nPanelist, 2017 FCPA and Anti-Monopoly Enforcement Trends in China Roundtable Discussion, US-China Business Council (USCBC), Washington, DC, April 5, 2017\nSpeaker, Keynote Panel: Trump and Banking–Predictions \u0026amp; Promises, 2017 Retail Banking Conference, at the Trump National Doral Miami Hotel in Miami, FL, March 22-24, 2017\nWebinar: Changes in Lease Accounting Standards \u0026amp; Impact on Credit Agreements, February 22, 2017\nSpeaker, “Current Focus of US Regulators—Hot Buttons \u0026amp; Cross Border Issues,” and “PCAOB \u0026amp; Auditing Developments,” SEC Conference 2016: An Accounting \u0026amp; Reporting Update for US Listed Companies, CPE, Beijing, December 12-13, 2016\nPanelist, Disclosure of Beneficial Ownership and Control in Asia: corporate practices, Asian Roundtable On Corporate Governance, OECD, October 25, 2016\nSpeaker, EU Regulatory Equivalency, Cross-Border Inspections of Audit Firms in China, The Evolving Role of the Audit Committee and Other Developments Impacting Global Audit Quality, National Asian Pacific American Bar Association 2016 Southeast Regional Conference, Arlington, VA, September 30, 2016\nSEC Conference 2016: An Accounting \u0026amp; Reporting Update for US Listed Companies, Center for Professional Education, June 2016: speaker on three panels: “Recent Auditing Developments,” “Update on SEC Enforcement Initiatives for Asia-Based Companies,” and “Corporate Governance Best Practices \u0026amp; the Role of the Audit Committee” June 16, 2016\nACAMS Richmond Chapter Event: When Goods Go Bad: Trade Based Money Laundering, May 2016\nOECD’s Asian Roundtables on Corporate Governance, (co-sponsored with the securities regulators in India and Thailand), 2014 and 2015\nWebcast - The PCAOB \u0026amp; China: The Latest Regulatory Developments, 2014\nFinancial Markets Securities Compliance Seminar, 2009\nAnti-Money Laundering III for Financial Institutions, 2008\nFutures Industry Association Law and Compliance Workshop, 2008\n\nPublications\n\nCo-author, AML and Sanctions Compliance Issues Facing Cryptocurrency Companies, Crowdfund Insider, June 4, 2018\nCo-author, “Recent Developments in the PCAOB’s Standard-Setting and Related Rulemaking Agenda,” Parts 1 and 2, in 38 Sec. \u0026amp; Fed.
