CFTE Launches RegTech Specialisation to Make Compliance Easier for Financial Professionals


Posted September 1, 2022 by alicevi7

CFTE announces a new specialisation on RegTech consisting of 5 courses. The programme covers a broad range of areas within compliance including the RegTech market landscape, KYC/AML, digital regulatory reporting, SupTech and data regulations.

 
Since the 2008 financial crisis, the world has learned to become regulated. On top of that, cybersecurity risks and increased frauds arising from technological developments such as blockchain, crypto and fintech, are creating an increasingly complex compliance environment for the finance industry. Meanwhile, mass adoption of digital financial services leads to massive, or even infinite, amounts of data to be monitored. It is clear more supervision is needed beyond human capabilities. This is where the promises of RegTech lie.

The RegTech market that aims to automate regulatory compliance is set to become a game changer for the financial sector. Its market capitalization is predicted to grow to $23.76 billion in 2026, a three-fold increase relative to 2021. A likely focus shift by financial firms to RegTech would lead to a huge demand for digitally adept professionals. Hence RegTech becomes a new set of skills necessary to be acquired by all financial employees across many core bank functions of research, risk management and compliance.

In that context, CFTE is launching today the world’s first and most comprehensive programme on RegTech to provide knowledge to professionals and the skills for them to grow in the new era of digital finance. Through this specialisation, learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of real world applications of digital technology in the sphere of data regulations and risk management across the financial world.

CFTE’s exhaustive curriculum of the RegTech in Finance Specialisation is divided into 5 courses:

RegTech Foundations
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & Client Onboarding
RegTech for Regulators & SupTech
Digital Regulatory Reporting
Data Regulation

Led by industry experts whose backgrounds range from company executives, start-up founders to academic professors, these courses help learners grasp diverse real world applications of RegTech developments within financial institutions, large organisations and regulatory bodies.

Programme directors’ Janos Barberis and Douglas Arner teach the foundations of RegTech. Supercharger Ventures’ co-founder and Hong Kong University’s Kerry Holdings Professor in Law, respectively, will lay the foundations in RegTech, that any professionals in the financial sector must know.

Claus Christensen teaches AML/KYC and Client Onboarding. The Co-Founder and CEO of award winning RegTech company, Know Your Customer, will deliver his years of experience and successful frameworks for implementing the latest technologies.

Simone di Castri teaches Regtech and Suptech for Regulators. The CEO of Digital Transformation Solutions will provide an understanding of how regulators around the world are adopting RegTech to improve their supervisory functions.

Tyler Aveni teaches Data Regulation. WeBank’s former Head of International Partnerships will be instructing participants about risk data aggregation requirements and enterprise data management (EDM).

Covering aspects from data privacy, cybersecurity, AML/KYC solutions, digital regulatory reporting to supervisory technology, the specialisation trains finance professionals to upskill and make better informed strategic decisions in their own role. CFTE’s belief of enhancing compliance education with a digital focus would contribute to a safer, secure and transparent financial sector.
