Are robots the future of compliance?
Why - and how - technology alone can't detect and prevent financial crime
In our annual survey of financial crime decision-makers, 58 percent of firms globally told us they planned to hire more compliance staff.
At a time when the hiring market is piping hot - one recruitment firm found 96 percent of compliance candidates feel confident about their prospects - over-indexing on talent could be costly. It may not also solve the problem. Global anti-money laundering (AML) fines surged by more than 50 percent in 2022, with banks alone - typically better staffed than many other financial institutions - stumping up more than $2 billion in penalties.
Hiring alone isn’t a scalable solution and won’t solve data-related problems.
Given this context, it’s natural that many leaders may turn their thoughts to robots and the prospect of automating their way to a scalable, efficient operation. While much of the media hype around these topics is overhyped, clearly, investing in better technology and data has to be part of the solution to rising financial crime. That’s why we commissioned this new survey on the role of technology and talent in the future of compliance.
