Financial crime compliance and risk management

Regulatory compliance has always been a critical requirement for banks and financial institutions. But in today’s rapidly evolving landscape and digital-first world, organizations don’t simply need to comply – they need to stay ahead of the curve.

For most financial organizations, regulatory compliance continues to be a complex, inefficient, and costly process. With the right strategy and processes, companies can enhance the productivity of their compliance process and effectively save untold millions in avoided sanctions, fines, enforcement actions and remediation costs.

As regulations and data continue to grow in volume and complexity, compliance teams need scalable solutions to evolve with the needs of their organization. Automation and artificial intelligence (AI), when incorporated within current practices, can help firms eliminate errors, improve cost-efficiencies, and optimize resources. Meanwhile, carefully calibrated risk models can improve customer experience, creating a swift and seamless onboarding process for low-risk customers, while enabling teams to focus on those cases that require a closer look.

Capgemini’s approach to risk management arms compliance teams with the regulatory expertise, technology, and industry insights to streamline their anti-financial crime programs while boosting customer experience.
