Welcome to FinTalk, the podcast at the forefront of FinTech & RegTech’s pressing topics, brought to you by VERMEG.

Kicking off the series with a focus on the regulatory sector, our host Jawad Akhtar is pleased to be joined by an expert with over 2 decades of experience in the industry - VERMEG’s own James Phillips.

James & Jawad take a look at the regulatory challenges in the coming year, particularly the transition from OSCA to BEEDS, issues raised in the latest Dear CEO letter, and overhauling longstanding, outdated processes around handling data.

This episode of The VERMEG podcast covers:

• How regulatory reporting needs a similar level of scrutiny to that of financial reporting
• Resolving data issues through health checks in preparation for regulators’ requirements
• Using October’s ‘Dear CEO’ letter to focus efforts on key industry issues
• Key areas we can expect to hear more on throughout this podcast series, particularly around ESG, hybrid workflows and cloud technologies
