Analyst Spotlight

"Most compliance initiatives rely on one thing - data. My experience has shown that institutions are inadvertently playing "compliance roulette" - assuming their data is accurate or at least accurate enough to pass muster. The cost of not ensuring data quality in compliance can be anywhere from bad publicity and de-listing of the company to heavy financial penalties or criminal prosecution."
