4. Monitoring & Oversight
- Monitor execution quality using quantitative metrics such as slippage, fill rates and latency.
- Maintain internal audit trails, exception logging and escalation procedures for sub‑optimal execution.
- Report material issues to senior management and, where required, to regulators.
