GDFM Podcast

In this podcast, GDFM and Compass Partners Services discuss expected crypto-related regulation and the impact it may have on digital assets and digital asset service providers.  We’re focusing on the latest moves in the UK, Europe and the US.  We cover the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets and it’s possible impact on the UK, which is being brought in to complement AML rules and enhance financial stability and investor protection in Europe, President Biden’s executive order 14067, and some enforcement action by the SEC.  We also offer our musings on the TerraUSD debacle.

Via the link below, we invite you to listen to GDFM’s Daiman Baker, Laurence Parish, Josh Clarke, and Gavin Burr discussing Third-Party Risk Management and what the recent UK regulatory updates mean for the financial services industry. They provide their insights into the challenges caused by increased regulatory expectations, and what these mean for the often complex operating models that exist in many FS institutions.

Whatever the size of the firm, KYC is a necessary process that impacts the client relationship.  It can make onboarding of new clients smooth and also reduce friction for existing clients.  The opposite is certainly possible yet avoidable.

In this episode, we discuss how eKYC, perpetual KYC and client-tested technology solutions can augment how people execute this vital function.

In this episode, Tony Adams of GDFM and Daiman Baker of FourPark Group UK discuss data subject access requests (DSARs) under GDPR and the UK's Data Protection Act 2018.  

More and more DSARs are expected to be filed by individuals in the wake of Covid-related furloughs.  These can raise administrative, IT, regulatory and even legal issues for the companies receiving them.

Tony and Daiman review top tips and managed solutions in the space.

In this episode, Sarah Peaston and Daiman Baker will discuss how regulatory change, governance and control fit within and give insights into the bigger picture of how a firm operates. 

Reg change, governance and control can lead not only to less regulatory risk but also to operational efficiencies and cost savings by requiring less reactive compliance support and more proactive and efficient support. 

In this episode, Clarisse Mallem is in conversation with Daiman Baker, discussing:

• Finding and fixing issues in KYC and client due diligence processes
