In a world where fraud risk and regulatory and operational demands on financial crime risk management programs and resources continues to grow year on year, we, as an industry, have to focus on new approaches and solutions to cost effectively managing financial crime risk. The use of Robotics to create more efficient, accurate and actionable insights is an effective way to optimize the management of financial crime risk both in terms of managing costs and enhancing the financial crime risk management program. Today, technology companies speak about robotics as though it is a panacea that will solve all our problems. We have to balance the expectations of these technological advances and use them appropriately to manage risk and optimise operations. Join us to discuss how the financial services industry is leveraging robotics for transaction monitoring, customer due diligence, sanction screening investigations and more.
