GoldenSource to Explore Data Implications of Upcoming Regulations in Risk Data Webinar

LONDON, Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Following an A-Team Group survey investigating drivers for risk management initiatives, GoldenSource Corporation, a leading provider of Enterprise Data Management (EDM) solutions, will participate in a webinar examining the implications of the results for financial institutions. The 'Current State of Risk Data Quality' webinar on Thursday, 27th January will discuss what the main drivers for risk management are today, where the biggest challenges lie, and which areas of regulation are having the biggest impact on data-related risk initiatives.

As regulators finalize the adequacy rules of Basel III and Solvency II, the industry needs to improve data and risk management practices in anticipation of the upcoming changes. Regulators are demanding increased transparency, enhanced reporting, and an integrated risk management framework – all of which requires higher quality data than financial institutions have traditionally maintained.

The webinar will question who is responsible for the management of data used in risk calculations, and what types of data integration and cleansing will be required to improve their quality. It will also discuss which areas of risk financial institutions are focusing on to improve their risk-related data and ensure compliance with new reporting demands.

Steve Engdahl, SVP of Product Strategy at GoldenSource, along with panelists representing the A-Team Group and risk consultancy InteDelta, will explore the likely impact regulations will have on data processes, and the changes they will necessitate to existing infrastructure.

Steve will also be available for press interviews prior to and after the webinar.
