Today’s financial workflows are becoming increasingly complex due to the competing pressures of new technology leading to faster execution and the need to ensure that all actions and communications are compliant. In order to keep up with these workflows, the involved participants must become more efficient.
As 2023 comes to a close, we are returning to a clean-tech topic that we have been following for quite some time now with Amenity’s ESG earnings call and news monitoring analytics. Our news data reveals that geothermal power has seen an uptick in recent months from key players in energy and industrials, which comes on the heels of some interesting proposed U.S. legislation.
As the landscape of communication continues to evolve in our increasingly digital world, the financial services industry is feeling the pinch of regulatory scrutiny. In recent years, financial firms have faced nearly $2 billion in penalties from the SEC and CFTC due to unregulated “off-channel” messaging. This surge in “off-channel” communication, including usage of platforms such as WhatsApp, WeChat, SMS, LINE, and mobile calls, is largely fueled by the rise of hybrid work. Yet, regulators maintain that all business communications must be monitored, auditable, and occur only within official channels.

Started in 2014 as a messaging platform to enable data security and compliance, today Symphony is a leading common connector for market workflows. Among other things, Symphony provides more than half a million users with secure tele-conferencing services.

The SEC has adopted a final rule to shorten the standard settlement cycle for most securities transactions from two business days (T+2) to one business day following the trade date (T+1). The reduced settlement period is forcing companies to reexamine their post-trade processes and procedures, which include communication methods. This article discusses several operating model changes to help with the transition to T+1 ahead of the compliance deadline of May 28, 2024.
