As we continue to adopt and use more advanced technology\, the threat landscape becomes more advanced as well.

We will discuss current financial crime trends and what to expect in the future\, as well as tips for how to deal with these challenges as they arise. You will learn practical strategies for how to best navigate financial crime risk mitigation\, compliance and operational resilience in the year (and years) ahead.  \n\n\n\nWho should attend\n\n\n\nCAEs\, CROs\, CCOs\, CFOs\, BSA officers\, fraud analysts or any professional with a focus on financial crimes compliance\, AML\, KYC\, CFT\, OFAC sanctions compliance\, transaction monitoring\, systems management\, risk advisory\, cybersecurity and digital transformation at a financial institution\, fintech\, asset manager or insurance organization.  \n\n\n\nRegister now and join us on Tuesday\, March 3 from 1-2 p.m. ET. Questions will be encouraged throughout the webinar and answered\, time permitting.  \n\n\n\nInformation about CPE eligibility \n\n\n\nThere are no prerequisites for this event\, and advance preparation is not required.

SUMMARY:Creating a roadmap to proactive obligation management
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nMany compliance and governance managers report that implementing internal and external requirements is more complex than ever before. With constantly changing regulatory requirements\, increasing customer demands\, and the integration of technologies such as AI\, organizations are under enormous pressure. Isolated implementation projects and independent audits are at record levels\, but true transparency and controllability of requirements implementation remain unattainable for many companies. Companies document requirements\, maintain guidelines\, and implement controls\, but only with structured obligation management can they identify the relevant connections to their implementation and establish an effective control system for robust compliance and resilience.  \n\n\n\nJoin us as we share our insights from current market analyses and practical projects and show you why isolated management systems fail and how leading organisations are transforming their obligation management based on best practices. We will highlight the critical dimensions of obligation management – from policy integration to process automation – and provide you with a maturity-based roadmap for moving from reactive compliance to proactive control. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nRecognise the challenge: Recognise the risks to governance posed by unconnected management systems of policies\, controls\, and processes\, and why documentation alone does not guarantee compliance.\n\n\n\nNavigate complex requirements: Learn how leading companies systematically capture\, analyse\, categorise\, and break down internal and external requirements to a comparable level of detail.\n\n\n\nMake requirements implementation manageable: Understand how modern approaches and tools enable end-to-end management of the company’s process organisation and how requirements can be implemented in a traceable manner.\n\n\n\nOperationalise integrated compliance: Learn strategies and practical insights for breaking down existing silos between compliance\, risk\, audit\, and operations and creating a unified view of requirements implementation and a commitment for collaboration.\n\n\n\nApply a maturity-based roadmap: Assess your company’s maturity level on the path to modern requirements management and walk away with concrete steps to improve your obligation management and increase transparency and compliance within your company.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 \n\n\n\nField of study: Auditing \n\n\n\nInstructional delivery method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced preparation: None  \n\n\n\n*Click here for more CPE information.
