Surviving the trading compliance challenge

Surviving the trading compliance challenge

Banks today are facing a triple challenge: sustained new regulations and rules and inflating fines are driving personal accountability, affecting front and back office teams. How can compliance and surveillance officers get it right?

At two events in London and Paris next month, an impressive line up of subject matter experts from BT and the industry will consider how banks can address the complexity of compliance, artificial intelligence and future tooling and achieving the right business outcomes.

Delegates will gain valuable insight into the challenges faced by financial institutions in this complex, data-rich industry.

Compliance: joining the dots with BT

Compliance: joining the dots with BT

Compliance Officers investigating compliance failures may have to sift through hundreds of thousands of pieces of information and documents as well as identifying and interviewing hundreds of personnel.

The information they need is often locked in silos of data and there is rarely a joined up view of all of the information that is required to satisfy the regulators.

The regulators are doing what they can to encourage innovation – and it’s good news for financial services.

Cloud security has long been a concern for both regulators and the markets, but UK watchdog the FCA has now given its cautious backing to cloud services, saying that it sees no reason “why the firms it regulates cannot use public cloud services”.

But with the regulatory burden continuing to grow, compliance and securing your identity in the cloud will be major concerns over 2016.

Architected and operated specifically for the financial markets, the BT Radianz Cloud is separate from the internet and offers enhanced security.

It’s a readily exploitable network that ensures fast and reliable access to service providers and trading partners across all asset classes for both established players and fintech newcomers.
