Recorded Webinar: How to gain operational efficiency in corporate actions processing
14 September 2023
While the risk associated with corporate actions is well established, many financial institutions continue with manual processing in the back office. More often than not, corporate actions information is manually keyed in and event processing lacks automation. This results in operational inefficiency, and financial risk due to missed events or simply getting it wrong. These are legacy problems, but there are solutions.
While end-to-end automation is ideal, this may not be a feasible option in the short term, due to budgetary challenges and/or available technical resources. In such a scenario, financial institutions may opt for partial automation to gain some benefits.
In this webinar, expert speakers will share their thoughts and experience on approaches to gaining operational efficiency.
Listen to this webinar to find out more about:
- The challenges of corporate actions processing
- The benefits of getting it right, penalties of getting it wrong
- Solutions to help improve operational efficiency
- Resulting operational and business benefits
