Norkom Technologies and Datamonitor host free webinar

Sydney, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Norkom Technologies, leading provider of financial crime and compliance software to the global financial services industry, has announced that it will hold a free webinar with guest speaker, Damien Shaw-Williams, senior analyst with Datamonitor, at 2pm EST on Thursday, 6th March 2008.


Entitled, "Securing the future: Enterprise-wide financial crime management and beyond", this 45-minute virtual event will explore new research, conducted by Datamonitor and Norkom, which reveals that a radical change is taking place in the way financial services providers manage regulatory compliance and financial crime.

The webinar will examine how leading financial service providers are embracing an enterprise-wide risk-based approach to financial crime management.

The new research also claims that:

More than half of all global tier one financial service providers have consolidated AML and fraud prevention across the enterprise 47% have centralized management structures by establishing Financial Intelligence Units, with a further 14% planning to do so within the next 12 to 24 months.

Risk-based approach and customer due diligence are the new priorities.

According to Paul Kerley, Norkom's CEO, "As we predicted, enterprise-wide financial crime management is now a reality in most major financial institutions, with those organisations seeing significant improvements in detection rates and cost reductions as a result. Organisations are now focusing their attention on successfully adopting a risk based approach - not just for AML as the regulator requires - but for all areas of financial crime. And they expect these two new priorities to deliver even greater business benefits".
