News Corporation has appointed five group chief compliance officers (GCCOs) in a shake-up of its global compliance structure, including an ex-US federal prosecutor and a former lawyer at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The new compliance structure will be headed up by the recently installed group GC and chief compliance officer Gerson Zweifach, who was brought in this February to steer News Corp’s efforts to shake up its governance following the phone-hacking scandal.
