Trading Fraud? Use Real-Time Monitoring and Risk Control System!


Issue 3, 2008.

In our last news letter, we reported breaking news concerning SocGen's Trading Fraud. At over US$ 7 billion, it is world's single largest financial fraud. So for it seems SocGen has been luckier than Barings in one respect - survival [even if it may mean not on its own]. Its indeed a big wake-up call for all of us.

Not only because of its size, but also risk of potentially serious effect on globally interconnected financial world of today, SocGen fraud had very wide coverage in the global media.

Interestingly, some highly respected international financial news papers while covering SocGen fraud reported that "technology is yet to catch-up to prevent such frauds".

They were partially right - technology is only just now catching-up! ReadiONE is such a solution!

+++ ReadiONE - a new generation fraud prevention system, resides in the middle-office, monitors various front-office systems in real-time namely FX, Money Market, Fixed Income, Funds, as well as real-time news sources namely Reuters, Bloomberg etc. It detects potential fraudulent transactions, trading book(s), positions and compliance breaches across-systems, analyzes them and responds, thereby preventing frauds - all in real-time!

+++ In other words, ReadiONE monitors cross-systems and enforces real-time control and compliance and prevents frauds. It's a comprehensive Fraud Prevention System.

+++ Use ReadiONE - Right-Time Response System. Prevent Financial Frauds.

Tip for Chief Information Security Officers: Make sure to remove access rights of people from trade audit and other such sensitive middle-office computers, soonest they move out to other departments. We find instances when access rights were not removed for persons, even after they moved to trading desk!
