Audit Quality and Efficiency with BPM and Decision Management

In an evolving market, adhering to regulatory requirements and improving productivity are critical to the success of any financial services organization. Many businesses are turning to BPM process and workflow features to eliminate the time-consuming, manual tasks of generating evidence necessary for auditors to perform their audits. Streamlining and automating auditing processes addresses a common challenge in the industry, where thousands of audits are taking place and little insight is shared on the performance of these audits. This session will include insights on how the automation and accurate mapping of audits ultimately results in higher quality information and, subsequently, reduced audit error rates. BPM and decision management capabilities position organizations to improve internal processes and meet compliance needs.

Industry Leaders Perspective: Moving up the BPM maturity lifecycle through strategic partnerships

In a complex marketplace in which every vendor claims to provide a comprehensive BPM solution, it can be challenging to select the right BPM partner. The key is to accurately assess your organization’s maturity for BPM and implement accordingly. In fact, many BPM deployment failures result from a poor match between the financial services organization and the third-party provider. Marrying the right BPM solution with the right strategic partner can help organizations achieve competitive advantage and improved operational efficiency. This session will include insights on how financial services organizations have successfully evaluated and chosen a BPM provider, pitfalls in the selection process and how to avoid them, and managing ongoing vendor relationships.
