Minimum Technology Standards for Compliance
Minimum Technology Standards for Compliance
We’re living in a world where we all use technology to manage our daily lives, both at home and at work. Recent years have seen huge gains in compliance technology and automation for firms of all sizes. The benefits and affordability of current compliance technology are well known to regulators, and recent SEC guidance and risk alerts have consistently pointed to a lack of adequate technology as a deficiency in compliance programs.
During the webinar Tito Pombra from Adviser Compliance Consulting and Giselle Casella from Investment Adviser Compliance Consultants discuss the concept of minimum technology standards, and how firms can use both minimum technology standards and automation to effectively manage compliance, including:
- Evaluating compliance technology offerings for fit
- Aligning capabilities with compliance requirements to replace manual processes
- Understanding how automation can help firms better manage the core functions of compliance
- Leveraging technology for effective SEC exam management
