The implementation of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) on July 1, 2014, marked a major change in the “rules of the game” for international tax cooperation, posing serious operational and systemic challenges for foreign financial institutions (FFIs). One of the most complex challenges is the need for FFIs to gather sensitive client data to identify accounts for the purpose of reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Julia has analysed the key statistics released by the OAIC has released some key statistics on the eligible data breach reports it has received in the six weeks since the notifiable data breach scheme commenced on 22 February 2018.
56% of financial planning & analysis and 20% of risk management activities can be either highly or fully automated.
Risk reconciliation done by robots is an example of risk monitoring that is unassisted (no humans!). Robotic process automation is extremely flexible in what it can retrieve and sort.
Instead of bookkeepers and legal aides digging around for sources, the data can be automatically found, gathered and placed into the appropriate risk registers by robots.
Partners or their financial controllers will have more time to assess the risk at the client and transactional level.

Even with organizations tightening up data security measures, cybercriminals have become very sophisticated and continue to find ways to steal personal information and use it to open or access accounts. According to Javelin Strategies, incidences of identity theft grew by 11 percent from 2008 to 2009 altering the lives of 11 million Americans. If that pattern continues, one in every 20 Americans will be a victim of identity theft this year. The Red Flags Rule, which is enforceable as of June 1, 2010, and carries significant financial recourse for non-compliance, requires organizations across multiple industries to implement additional data security measures and be able to identify the danger signs of fraudulent activity.
In this 30-minute webcast, you will learn key tips to developing your Red Flags Rule playbook to effectively:
1. Enhance your data security practices
2. Harmonize data security control requirements across other data protection regulations such as PCI DSS
3. Monitor controls that the Federal Trade Commission mandates
4. Respond to red flags as they are identified

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
