So much more than a legal or regulatory concern
Not only has the number of regulations exploded, but in recent years regulators have imposed increasingly large fines within the industry. This has raised the pressure and cost to comply however financial institutions should see it as an opportunity to preserve their organisational value and improve business opportunities.
By embedding a strong governance, reliable controls and robust end-to-end monitoring mechanisms within your business, you will not only avoid fines and reputational damage, but you'll also create value for your customers.
