As FINRA and the SEC become more aggressive in the enforcement of both AML and Supervisory Control Systems regulations, which require ‘Annual’ Testing, Audit Risk Assessments, and Management Reporting, firms are in need of more sophisticated and efficient methods to achieve compliance. Compliance systems that require manual collection of data and reports from various individuals, entities, and regulatory agencies, and conducting line-by-line reviews and analysis are no longer feasible, and create enormous demands on time and limited resources.
