Escalating risks from Unsuitable products being sold to consumers, Cybersecurity failures, Ransomware attacks, Money Laundering, ID Theft, Operational risk failures, Data Privacy requirements, Conflicted Sales Practices, Climate risk and others, make the jobs of Risk, Compliance and Senior management teams very tough. The need for integrated information and approach to various aspects of risk and compliance is very apparent.
Regulatory fines for Reg BI, AML, Cybersecurity and other operational process failures are increasing from repeated failures. Reputation and Litigation risks from these lead to customer’s loss of trust and can drastically reduce business value. Boards and Senior management are also challenged by regulators seeking their accountability to risk management.
