Technology Advisory Services
Regulated firms face a constant battle against financial crime, and technology plays a crucial role in this fight.
Leveraging technology and keeping up with innovation comes with its own set of challenges.
Poor implementation of vendor solutions, heavy customisation and legacy systems create performance, stability and effectiveness issues alongside increased IT and operational costs.
Regulated firms are under greater regulatory scrutiny to evidence that their FCC technology solutions are effective, resilient and regulatory compliant, and that they have a full understanding of the models and system configuration in order to avoid bias or poor risk management.
The vendor landscape has also become increasingly complex with a proliferation of RegTech software providers making vendor selection a potential minefield for firms.
