Recorded Webinar: How far should counterparty screening go? Balancing the ideal and the realistic
Counterparty screening is a regulatory requirement, but do you know enough about your clients’ clients, and beyond? How can you source this information and how does it benefit your business? How far do you need to dig into entity ownership structures?
This webinar discusses these challenges and how they relate to your organisation, whether you’re a Tier 1 financial institution or small regional bank. It will explore what’s the ‘screening ideal’ versus what’s realistic, all in the context of current regulations.
It will also investigate tools that make screening a proactive process, can keep you compliant, and help you identify previously ‘hidden’ exposure and risk.
Listen to the webinar to explore:
- What are the limitations of current screening practices?
- How far should you delve into ownership structures?
- How do you balance ideal and realistic screening?
- What tools are available to help you make your screening more effective?
