Experis Finance is pleased to continue our Hot Topics webinar series in 2019. Our goal is to provide you with a series of webinars that provide practical insights on topics of interest to internal audit, information security, and compliance professionals.

Our upcoming session covers Balancing the Risks of Today with an Eye on the Risks for Tomorrow.

For the internal audit function to add value when assessing and evaluating risks it is important to look at the risks that matter most today with an eye on the risks that will matter tomorrow. All functions are expected to provide assurance relative to compliance, cyber and financial reporting risks. A forward-thinking department needs to have a deeper understanding of organizational strategy, technology trends, and disruptive business trends that will impact risk in the future. Corporate audit has the data and knowledge of the business to evaluate organization maturity and agility to take on new initiatives and the related risks.

•Defining the balance between high-focus areas - cyber, compliance, and financial reporting - against disruptive trends and technology
•Assessing organizational readiness for disruption and emerging trends
•Managing expectations of the board and audit committee

Este webinar describirá los desarrollos recientes en el sector de mueble y decoración , y cómo una solución omnicanal puede ayudar a los minoristas a aprovechar estas tendencias exitosamente.

Implementing a cloud transformation strategy in a bank or financial institution is a very complex and difficult process, with little publicly available information on the reality of the challenges and risks experienced.

In this Q&A style discussion we uncover for you the key considerations you need to be aware of when planning your cloud transformation strategy. Focusing on real life examples and lessons learnt from helping major banks deliver a successful transition to cloud.

This webinar will describe some recent developments in furniture and home décor retailing, and then explain how an omnichannel retail solution can help retailers successfully embrace these trends.

Using technologies such as Augmented Reality and AI-based visual search, a new generation of digital-native retailers want to make it easier for customers to buy furniture and home décor online and reduce the need to make a trip to a store.

This trend potentially weakens the position of traditional retailers in the furniture and home décor categories, who have been relatively unaffected by eCommerce to date. To fight back, retailers must play to their strengths by offering superior customer service, a personalized in-store experience and a seamless shopping journey that bridges the online and offline worlds.

When it comes to user onboarding, there’s a tension between security and convenience. For financial services, non-compliance with KYC requirements can be costly. But adding too much friction will impact your ability to scale. So how can you optimise your user experience to introduce just the right amount of ‘friendly’ friction and unlock growth?

Join this webinar with Dan Leitao, Product Manager at Onfido to learn:

- Why financial services need friendly friction
- How to tailor your onboarding according to your risk-based approach
- The key features you can utilise to improve your UX

Open Banking presents a landmark opportunity. Yet over-eager innovation can irreparably scar consumers’ trust in new entrants and drive customers back to their customary safe havens.

In addition, innovation and privacy law may offer new entrants the opportunity to obtain more meaningful data.

What fundamental issues should be considered in open banking data sharing models to avoid the kinds of exile suffered by Aldous Huxley’s protagonists?
