WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.297 --> 00:00:10.176 Looking back at the last months of our work and client feedback, we do 2 00:00:10.176 --> 00:00:13.263 see several key challenges our clients are facing. 3 00:00:13.263 --> 00:00:14.472 The underlying scheme for any 4 00:00:14.472 --> 00:00:18.143 challenges are the increasing regulation in all risk 5 00:00:18.143 --> 00:00:22.022 areas, but also the geopolitical tensions around the globe. 6 00:00:22.022 --> 00:00:24.983 Based on that, I see three clear trends in the broader 7 00:00:24.983 --> 00:00:28.570 governance, risk, and compliance community: leveraging GenAI 8 00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:30.363 and tech to increase efficiency 9 00:00:30.363 --> 00:00:31.823 and effectiveness of compliance 10 00:00:31.823 --> 00:00:34.534 and risk management; simplification of governance, 11 00:00:34.534 --> 00:00:36.619 compliance, and assurance processes; 12 00:00:36.619 --> 00:00:38.997 and trade compliance and export control. 13 00:00:38.997 --> 00:00:41.583 - Starting with the first trend, leveraging GenAI 14 00:00:41.583 --> 00:00:44.753 and tech to increase efficiency and effectiveness of risk 15 00:00:44.753 --> 00:00:46.713 and compliance management. 16 00:00:46.713 --> 00:00:50.050 There are several excellent usages for GenAI in compliance, 17 00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:53.386 from regulatory radars to chatbots to usage of GenAI 18 00:00:53.386 --> 00:00:54.929 and screening processes 19 00:00:54.929 --> 00:00:58.433 or even in the classification process of trade compliance. 20 00:00:58.433 --> 00:01:00.727 We are seeing companies starting their first lighthouse 21 00:01:00.727 --> 00:01:03.813 efforts, but not yet pushing GenAI at scale 22 00:01:03.813 --> 00:01:05.565 for compliance. In general, 23 00:01:05.565 --> 00:01:07.150 where there is data and/or 24 00:01:07.150 --> 00:01:10.195 manual steps, there are use cases for GenAI 25 00:01:10.195 --> 00:01:11.529 in risk and compliance. 26 00:01:11.529 --> 00:01:14.532 - Second, simplification of governance, compliance, 27 00:01:14.532 --> 00:01:16.743 and assurance processes is a topic many 28 00:01:16.743 --> 00:01:18.870 of our clients across industries are tackling. 29 00:01:19.704 --> 00:01:22.373 Most corporates have built stringent central governance 30 00:01:22.373 --> 00:01:25.335 policy standards, procedures, etc., 31 00:01:25.335 --> 00:01:26.920 with limited differentiation 32 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.130 and risk considerations of their businesses. 33 00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:31.382 It's now the time to rethink if the governance 34 00:01:31.382 --> 00:01:34.844 and policy framework is still suitable and effective. 35 00:01:34.844 --> 00:01:36.763 There's lots of opportunity to simplify 36 00:01:36.763 --> 00:01:38.264 and enhance effectiveness. 37 00:01:38.264 --> 00:01:40.517 - Last but not least, trade compliance. 38 00:01:40.517 --> 00:01:42.644 As geopolitical tensions are increasing, 39 00:01:42.644 --> 00:01:44.646 trade barriers are going up. 40 00:01:44.646 --> 00:01:47.732 New executive orders in the U.S., additional regulation 41 00:01:47.732 --> 00:01:49.901 in APAC, and so on are on the rise. 42 00:01:49.901 --> 00:01:52.695 Companies need to step up their game to ensure 43 00:01:52.695 --> 00:01:55.031 their trade compliance management system is adequate. 44 00:01:55.031 --> 00:01:56.741 Compliance and legal often drive these 45 00:01:56.741 --> 00:01:58.535 cross-functional efforts. 46 00:01:58.535 --> 00:02:01.412 Challenges are classification of goods, tech, software, 47 00:02:01.412 --> 00:02:03.790 and being up-to-date on changing restrictions. 48 00:02:03.790 --> 00:02:05.625 Talent in the market is scarce, 49 00:02:05.625 --> 00:02:08.044 but it's also a topic where there's huge potential 50 00:02:08.044 --> 00:02:09.462 for GenAI usage. 51 00:02:09.462 --> 00:02:11.005 - There's a lot of exciting work to do 52 00:02:11.005 --> 00:02:13.341 for the global compliance and risk community. 53 00:02:13.341 --> 00:02:15.552 - It's time to embark on this journey now.
