The Use of Technology in Securities Markets Enforcement, 28 September 2022
The IOSCO Committee 4 on Enforcement and the Exchange of Information (C4) held the first edition of its “The Use of Technology in Securities Markets Enforcement” on 28 September 2022 in a virtual format.
The conference is one of C4’s initiatives for raising members’ awareness of the importance of the application of technology in enforcement, and the current and emerging technological tools for combating securities fraud and misconduct. It is also intended to spark interests amongst members in developing and adopting their own tools and sharing their experience with others. It responds to the need for securities regulators to leverage technology to enhance their investigative capabilities to enable the delivery of more timely and effective enforcement outcomes, especially in the fast-evolving digital world.
The conference was well attended with over 300 participants from over nearly 100 IOSCO member organizations in attendance.
The conference featured presentations on “Importance of developing technological solutions for enforcement”, “Building capacity and capability for data analytics within your organization”, “Building your own Forensics & eDiscovery Department” as well as a case study on “Data analytics in an investigation into shares sale fraud”.
