Standards Forum Flight 12: You are cleared for take-off.

Here we go again. Time to get your geek on.

:72:THE ANNUAL STANDARDS RELEASE AND THE NOTION OF STANDARDS DEBT

Simplifying KYC in short order

KYC processes aren’t a competitive differentiator but they are critical processes. However firms are rapidly coming to the conclusion that KYC processes aren’t best done bilaterally.
