Report: Tech Blockers 2022

View ReportIs it time to redress the balance?
The implication is that the financial services sector’s response to financial crime compliance is significantly more labour-intensive than technology-driven, suggesting significant gains in both efficiency and cost effectiveness could be readily achievable, through greater use of data and technology, for example to:
Increase capacity – process greater volumes of customer onboarding checks
Increase efficiency – perform existing checks in less time
Reduce costs – lower cost per check and reduce false positives
Significantly free up staff time to spend on higher value-add compliance activities
This latest study seeks to validate the sector’s focus on people-centric delivery
Through a series of in-depth interviews, the report aims to understand why this is the case and whether this balance is expected to change in the foreseeable future.
For this, we’ve probed a series of well-informed CXO perspectives: Chief Compliance Officers, Chief Operating Officers and Chief Digital or Technology Officers, with responsibility for delivering Digital Transformation.
