Capital markets consulting firm First Derivative has joined the UnaVista Partner Programme to enhance the operational and regulatory risk management services it offers to clients.
The combination of First Derivative’s business and UnaVista’s technology platform aims to solve technology, regulatory and operational challenges.
Areas of focus include risk and controls, regulation and reporting and data analytics.
First Derivative has a dedicated risk management team that works with many of the world’s financial institutions on their regulatory commitments and technology needs, developing the processes and applications required to investigate, control and implement regulatory programmes.
Using the UnaVista platform, First Derivative teams will gain a deeper understanding of the current regulatory challenges faced by their?clients and other financial institutions, says UnaVista.
As the regulatory landscape becomes increasingly more complex and crowded, technology holds the key to solving short-term challenges and enabling firms to future-proof their reporting needs, it adds.
Chris Owers, global head of regulatory solutions at First Derivative, says: “A key?initiative?for the regulatory solutions practice at First Derivative is to build effective partnerships with companies like UnaVista in order to enhance our business expertise and regulatory knowledge with cutting edge technologies and working practices.
“This partnership will give us access to a wider potential client base, conference sessions and keynotes and a broad range of training materials.”
