FINANCIAL CRIME CONVERSATION

How data and technology can turn the tide

Advances of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are reshaping industries and regulatory frameworks, but can Industry 4.0 have a positive effect on helping to fight financial crime? 

Last year’s global report on the true cost of financial crime revealed its impact, not just on companies and governments, but also the human victims exploited by criminal gangs which launder their gains through the financial system. This year we shift our new report focus onto another critical area, innovation – and reveal how emerging technologies and new collaborations are helping to turn the tide against financial crime.
 
The expert speakers from Barclays, HSBC, Emerging Payments Association and Refinitiv in our latest Financial Crime Conversation discussed: 

  • What are the drivers for using innovative technologies to fight financial crime
  • What are the challenges for organisations to achieve better outcome in fighting financial crime 
  • How are leading financial institutions adopting innovation to fight financial crime 
  • What are the best practice approach to fight financial crime with innovative tools 
  • How is innovation and technology helping to bridge compliance gap and drive efficiencies  
  • What is the role of public and private partnerships in information sharing
