NICE Actimize Twice Named a Silver Winner for its Anti-Money Laundering ‘Culture of Compliance’ Campaign in Southeast Asia’s 2015 PR Awards

Both awards highlighted NICE Actimize’s “Cultivating a Culture of Compliance” campaign launched last year and developed on behalf of the firm’s Anti-Money Laundering line of business. The multi-faceted campaign featured its own micro-site, a user survey that addressed financial services firms’ readiness for embarking upon a culture of compliance, and a series of white papers and blog posts aligned to the topic. The theme was also featured at a range of customer events and webinars.

The competition’s panel of 20 judges was comprised of a range of major brands and industries representing financial services, technology and telecommunications, hospitality and consumer packaged goods businesses. The judges examined key campaign criteria including key challenge, strategy, execution and results in determining category winners.

“As we further grow our financial crime and compliance business in Asia-Pacific, we are pleased to accept this acknowledgment of our focus on an important topic. The current enforcement environment is demanding more of anti-money laundering risk management efforts and has moved compliance higher on the business agenda,” said Joe Friscia, President of NICE Actimize. “We believe that an enterprise-wide approach to integrating anti-money laundering functions is key to establishing a thriving culture of compliance.”

“We are honored that our continued effort in Southeast Asia to foster a culture of compliance has been acknowledged by the PR Awards committee,” said Raghav Sahgal, president of NICE APAC. “As NICE further builds its relationships for our compliance products and services in the region, we will continue to support our customers’ efforts to integrate a culture of compliance into their organizations in order to better meet the needs of increasing regulatory demands.”
