The Digital Transformation of Compliance
Every year, new directives and regulations are adding complexity to compliance operations across all industries. Navigating the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape is rather challenging for contemporary business owners, which is why advanced alternative approaches to compliance management are becoming essential to retain a competitive advantage.

At this juncture, ICON Outlook Magazine has developed this special edition on Compliance Solution Provides to help businesses lead the way to align with the changing regulatory requirements. The insights included are crafted to help businesses like you move with the waves.

 

The complexity of trading risk is constantly evolving as remote working environments become the norm. With employees no longer working under one roof, it’s more challenging to monitor their behaviors and conversations. Add to this an increased reliance on eComms and the ability to potentially evade traditional surveillance mechanisms, and you have a scenario in which abuse can proliferate.   

Regulators have taken notice and are taking action. The SEC’s “shadow trading” case shows that they are looking deeper and beyond the traditional definition of insider trading. In 2022, firms will need to monitor trading activity and eComms data more closely than ever.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has repeatedly stated that complete and accurate transaction reporting is critical under the UK’s Markets in Financial Instruments Regime (MiFIR). This reporting provides data the regulator uses as its principal source for detecting suspicious behavior. Research by ACA Group has identified that 97% of reports under UK MiFIR and the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) contain inaccuracies. But worryingly, 87% of firms are confident in the quality of reports submitted.

It is clear that firms need to take a closer look at the transaction reports submitted, as errors could not only lead to undetected market abuse or systemic risk, but also pose significant financial, reputational, and compliance risk for firms reporting inaccurately. To help businesses align with the trends, we present to you the “Top 20 Compliance Solution Providers 2022.”
