Risk Assessment at Start-Up Speed with Risk Proof On Demand

Sponsored By PwC.

Risk Proof, a PwC product, empowers your organization to think faster and act quicker to stay on top of the ever-changing world of financial risk. Risk Assessment for anti-money laundering, fraud and sanctions continue to be manual and time-consuming processes. Most institutions rely on spreadsheets and manual processes to produce reports that are often hard to explain to executive management.

• What if you could digitize the process and spend more time focusing on having the right controls and presenting your risks and forecasts to management, the board and your regulators?
• What if you could help your business think through the risks and controls to introduce new payment products, crypto assets or expansions in lines of business?
