We recently conducted a study on #EntityVerification at Moody's which highlighted the importance of efficiently and effectively verifying counterparties as part of compliance processes. One respondent even made the valuable point that Entity Verification is the bedrock of everything. Corporate registers play a crucial role in Entity Verification, as they are the ultimate source for real-time, audit-proof company information. Therefore, I am very much looking forward to participating in this year‘s Corporate Registers Forum to discuss how #KYC, #AML, #CFT and third-party risk management processes depend on corporate registers making information available to the industry!

An interesting 3min read ; PWC Cyber Survey, take a look. Thanks PwC Middle East for publishing it. https://lnkd.in/dpp4gf-Y I like this soundbyte: "Cyber resilience is viewed as a strategic asset, with 73% of regional organisations seeing it as a competitive advantage". This is something I am coming across in conversations I am having with customers and prospects at the moment. Cyber resilience is now forming part of the value-proposition for businesses across the region. How seriously are you taking your cyber resiliency? #cybersecurity #middleeast #securityawarenesstraining #phishing
