Today's banking and finance organisations are constantly challenged to meet their information requirements in a cost effective way. Over the past six months, FreePint has published a wealth of articles to help meet this challenge. From regulatory compliance, to company and industry intelligence, or news, FreePint can help!

Compliance

FreePint's recent Topic Series: Compliance in Context was a boon to banking organisations who are trying to meet their own regulatory compliance requirements.

• For organisations or information professionals just starting their compliance journey, FreePint offered several fantastic introductions to the essential issues and questions that banks are currently facing. These include Chris Porter's Compliance Managers Challenged to Keep Abreast of Changing Regulations and also Matthew Baker and Victoria Brocklehurst's articles on the Global Regulatory Environment: Key Issues for Compliance Teams and Regulatory Risks for Businesses.
  
  
• For those seeking a deeper dive on particular compliance issues, Tom Brown's two part series: Understanding Politically Exposed Persons & Their Associated Risks offers a deep understanding of an important facet of compliance monitoring.
  
  
• Finally, FreePint's recent product reviews on Compliance Complete from Thomson Reuters, Bridger Insight XG, and BvD Compliance Catalyst can help those who are ready to procure solutions by offering expert opinions on these competing products.

Trustworthy and timely intelligence on companies and their industries are essential for risk assessment activities at banking and finance organisations.
