NICE Introduces NICE COMPASS Compliance Assurance Software to Help Banks Automate Compliance to Meet Growing Financial Communication Regulations
NICE COMPASS provides powerful compliance assurance recording automation tools, monitoring dashboards and reports to help financial institutions ensure enterprise-wide record-keeping compliance with MiFID II and other regulations
Hoboken, N.J. – July 10, 2017 – Financial services organizations worldwide are under growing pressure from global regulations, including MAR, Dodd-Frank, Code of Conduct, and MiFID II, which broadens the scope of employees, asset classes, communication channels, and devices that need to be recorded and monitored, while also mandating proof of compliance. NICE COMPASS, a new solution from NICE (Nasdaq:NICE), minimizes the burden of these growing financial communication regulatory requirements, by helping financial institutions automate the compliance assurance process and by providing comprehensive evidence of compliance around the requirement to record employees that have information associated with a trade.
"Financial institution are drowning under the weight of expanding regulations that require them to record more conversations, for more users, across more modalities, and also prove their compliance," said Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE. "New regulations, such as MiFID II, are creating enormous headaches for financial institutions that today still very much rely on manual compliance assurance processes. NICE COMPASS reduces compliance risk and saves time by automating processes around compliance assurance and reporting, and responding to regulatory requests."
"MiFID II and MAR are changing the surveillance game in terms of data capture, communications monitoring and analytics and evidencing to regulators," said Dan Simpson, Head of Research for JWG, a regulatory think-tank. "Firms need to be ready to meet these requirements from go live in January 2018 and this will require firms to boost current capabilities through implementing new technology solutions. NICE understands these requirements and the challenges involved in implementing them."
NICE COMPASS adds three core capabilities on top of the NICE Trading Recorder (NTR) platform: compliance assurance automation; real-time dashboards / automated reporting; and a single portal for managing compliance assurance and recording across the enterprise.
MiFID II also stipulates that response to regulator requests must be timely. NICE COMPASS enables bulk download of up to 1.4 million calls per day to support faster turnaround times for investigations.
Additionally, compliance managers no longer need to waste time manually compiling data. NICE COMPASS’ automated reports provide a thorough, step-by-step reconciliation of the entire recording process for all regulated users as proof of compliance.
NICE COMPASS also offers an expanded API (Application Programming Interface) for integration with other bank systems.
