Recorded Webinar: Driving business value from the LEI

16 February 2017

The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) has become a viable standard to help financial institutions identify business entities that are party to financial transactions and fulfil regulatory obligations for entity data. Linked to third-party, corporate hierarchy and beneficial ownership data, the potential of the LEI extends to meet not only regulatory requirements, but also the need for an entity-centric enterprise view that can deliver business benefits including improved risk management and customer service.

Listen to the webinar to find out about:

  • LEI adoption and development
  • Initial limits of the identifier
  • How to link third-party data
  • How to gain an entity-centric view
  • Potential business benefits of the LEI
