13:30 Regulatory data management: 2014 helicopter view

Regulation is coming thick and fast. Seventy thousand pages a year fast!

Dealing with this deluge with a page-by-page, regulation-by-regulation approach is becoming impossible as the G20 commitments become spread across many rulebooks. This means that firms trying to tackle the changes one-by-one will end up with sky-high implementation costs and conflicting priorities - unless they take action now to pull it all together.

What is needed in this space is a consolidated approach, which looks at how regulation as a whole aligns, by examining overlapping requirements for their lowest common denominators.
In our presentation, we cover 300,000 pages of regulatory reform via a top-down ‘helicopter view’ to see, not only the ‘here and now’, but the full landscape including:
► Trading: OTC (EMIR/DFA/equivalents); MiFID II/ MAR; MAD; AIFMD
► Risk: Basel III/ CRD IV; fund reporting; Solvency II
► Financial crime: FATCA, AMLD IV, Bribery Act, sanctions regimes
► Structural: Volker, Vickers, data protection, benchmarks, CRAs, accounting standards.

As we take you through what is being asked, we will point out the key ‘deltas’ between different global regulatory requirements and point out the key milestones – and landmines – on the road ahead.

If you want to know what the unknowns are in your 2014 operations, data and technology challenges, don’t miss this discussion.
