Description (French)
Plus de 65 % des problèmes de conformité sont attribuables à des employés, qui ne suivent pas des politiques et des procédures standards. Les programmes de conformité actuels ont tendance à se concentrer sur la réaction à une infraction au lieu d'une façon proactive ou prévisible visant le personnel, les emplacements (directions générales) et les entreprises, qui ont tendance à ne pas se conformer. En utilisant la divulgation requise dans le secteur des services financiers et notre comportement proposé et notre algorithme d’apprentissage machine, VigilantCS appuiera les entreprises dans la détection et la réduction des risques au niveau du personnel à l’appui de la gestion d’une culture de conformité efficace. Le projet développera un produit VCSPro, qui permettra aux clients d’évaluer le risque réglementaire au niveau de la personne, la direction générale et l’entreprise.
