MiFID II, Dodd Frank, Solvency 2 - are you prepared for the changes to the UK financial regulation?

March 19, 2012 - PRLog -- There was also an additional 450+ senior UK financial regulation & reference data executives. They told us that they could not wait until November 2012 to respond and adapt to the UK financial regulation changes. Indeed, a recent survey with the industry reveals:

• 40% of financial institutions have major gaps in their regulatory compliance strategy

• 2 in 5 financial reference data managers said they are not ready for the new UK financial regulation environment

• Most banks, asset managers and insurance companies have 10+ regulatory initiatives to tackle in less than 6 months

• 100% of financial institutions will be tested by the regulator. Penalties and further inspections will follow.

As a result, by request of the reference data community, we've created the FIMA Regulation Conference. FIMA Regulation is a one day event designed to give you proven strategies, ideas for process change and methods to achieve effective regulatory compliance. Solvency II, MiFID II, Dodd Frank, FATCA, MiFEA, Recovery & Resolution, UCITS, Transparency Directive, to name but a few, will all be discussed and analysed during the conference.

Regulators and leading reference data practitioners from banks, buy side and insurance firms will reveal their strategies and ideas for regulatory compliance. None has a 100% answer to the challenge.

So join them to learn the best and most cost effective strategies. Don't get left behind, finding yourself penalised and subsequently out of pocket.

Registration has just opened and this is your chance to snap up the chance of getting efficient strategies to solve the most pressing reference data regulatory compliance issues from:
