Traders Magazine Online News, October 9, 2019
ACA Compliance Group (ACA), a leading provider of governance, risk, and compliance advisory services and technology solutions, launched ComplianceAlpha® 2.0. This next-generation risk and compliance management platform helps global financial services firms stay one step ahead of regulators’ increasingly advanced technological capabilities to detect insider trading, market abuse, and other potential misconduct.
The enhanced platform was designed and developed by the industry’s largest team of former regulators, financial technologists, and cybersecurity professionals.
Jordan Schwartz, Partner at ACA, said,“To effectively and efficiently meet regulatory demands and identify risk, financial services firms no longer have to rely on manual processes and unconnected data sources. Firms need the support of an enterprise-wide, scalable technology solution that brings together their structured and unstructured data sets while allowing for easy feature updates as needs change.”
Patrick Conroy, Managing Director at ACA, said, “ComplianceAlpha 2.0 helps financial services firms of all sizes bring their firm’s compliance program to the level that regulators expect. The enhanced platform helps firms increase efficiency by automating manual tasks, reduce risk through enhanced surveillance capabilities, derive deeper insights through connected data, and free up valuable time for more strategic, higher-value tasks.”
