OREANDA-NEWS. On 9 September 2015, a meeting of the members of the Supervisory Board of National Settlement Depository, Russia’s central securities depository, was held.

The Supervisory Board made a decision to terminate the powers of Svetlana Yakovchenko, Head of Control and Accounting Department, Deputy General Director responsible for internal control (controller), Irkol CJSC, member of the National Settlement Depository Customer Committee (Central Securities Depository Customer Committee), and to appoint Anastasiya Povalyaeva, Deputy Head of the Document Receipt Department, Irkol CJSC, as the new member of the Committee.
