Financial crime organizations may now capture every type of trader
voice communication to comply with Dodd Frank, MiFID II, and FX Code of
Conduct

HOBOKEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Recording of trade-related conversations is a central tenet of Dodd
Frank, MiFID II, and FX Code of Conduct regulations. To address this
need, NICE (NASDAQ: NICE), the leading provider of financial
communication compliance solutions, today announced that it has further
enhanced its NICE
COMPASS compliance assurance solution with real-time recording
reconciliation capabilities so that financial services organizations can
have complete confidence in their ability to capture virtually every
type of trader voice communication.

In recent years, regulators have issued tens of millions of dollars in
penalties for record-keeping violations. FSOs are required to report
recording lapses to regulators, including the nature and extent of
problems, and remedial actions taken. The ability to immediately detect
and notify regulatory authorities of such occurrences can lessen the
sting of penalties and fines, insulate firms from drawn-out
investigations and reputational damage, and alleviate speculation over
what missing trade conversations might be hiding.

“Today, most firms rely on random, manual recording checks to ensure
that calls are being recorded,” explained Chris Wooten, Executive
Vice President, NICE. “By the time a problem is detected, either
during a random check or routine audit, the damage is already done, and
the ramifications are often far worse.”

NICE COMPASS’ real-time recording reconciliation solves this problem by
adding another real-time protection layer to NICE COMPASS’ automated,
pre-scheduled recording checks. Now, a firm can instantly know if a call
was not recorded, immediately troubleshoot and fix underlying problems,
and provide timely notification to regulators.

How Real-time Recording Reconciliation Works
Real-time
reconciliation applies sophisticated algorithms to reconcile
trade-related calls of regulated employees to actual voice recordings.
Call detail records in the phone system are systematically matched up to
call records in the recording system, to detect missing or partially
recorded calls. When NICE COMPASS detects a mismatch between the phone
system and recorder data, it automatically sends an alert to designated
stakeholders who can identify and fix problems, and provide proper
notification to regulators.

Unique to NICE COMPASS, its integrated real-time reconciliation
capability features dashboards and reports so compliance officers can
keep tabs on the health of the firm’s entire global recording estate.

Wooten added, “NICE COMPASS’ new real-time reconciliation
capability is a vital tool for FSOs in terms of providing real-time
visibility so that small problems don’t turn into bigger problems, and
so that timely corrective action can be taken. By leveraging NICE
COMPASS for compliance assurance, FSOs can demonstrate a proactive
mindset, reduce their compliance costs through automation, avoid fines,
penalties and drawn-out audits, and improve their responsiveness to
regulators.”

For firms currently using the NICE
Trading Recording System (NTR), NICE COMPASS may be added to the
system to take advantage of real-time recording reconciliation and NICE
COMPASS’ other robust compliance assurance capabilities.
