Capco Blockchain, Distributed Ledger and Cryptocurrencies keynote to IIROC co...Craig Borysowich
This document describes how blockchain technology could be used to automate compliance activities for financial institutions (FIs) and reduce associated costs. It notes that compliance currently represents a major cost for FIs due to activities like auditing, reporting and regulatory filings. The document proposes a solution where financial data would be stored on a distributed ledger and different stakeholders like auditors and regulators would have compartmentalized access to relevant data. This could enable automated auditing, integrated financial reporting and real-time access for regulatory reviews. Challenges include controlling access to specific data, transitioning regulators to real-time processes, and ensuring interoperability with existing legacy systems.
