FTF will be hosting a complimentary webinar on March 28, 2012 at 11a.m. EDT on the upcoming LEI being mandated by Dodd-Frank….
The financial services industry has been looking to push for the use of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) for some time. There has been resistance due to the inability to make a strong business case on the basis of process improvements. This business case for implementing LEIs can no longer be disputed as Dodd-Frank now makes it mandatory for firms to integrate these identifiers into their current processes for standardized reporting and risk management. The clock is ticking to meet a July 16th deadline for implementing a new LEI framework, but this is proving difficult, especially since the new LEI framework has yet to be finalized by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). To make matters even more interesting, recent findings of an FTF survey indicate that 43% of respondents don’t know how to define an LEI!
Therefore, join our webinar on March 28th to hear leading industry professionals, including the President of the EDM Council, discuss the basics of an LEI, focusing on the challenges firms face with the upcoming front-to-back integration and the opportunities LEIs can present to your firm. Hear what firms are also doing to create more accurate risk management measures through this implementation process. The discussion points will focus on:
