The Challenge
Ava Trade is an online trading platform having Operations in multiple locations across the globe. Every country has a different set of regulations to comply with. Missing any regulations attract huge penalties. They are also exposed to AML risk and must do a stringent AML risk assessment of all customers and individual transactions. Payments for various registrations needed to be completed before the deadline.
Before VComply, they relied on excel spreadsheets and Outlook for assessing compliance data and regulations. The spreadsheets provided limited visibility into the organization’s risk and compliance status, and there was no central point of truth for this information.The data was in silos, and they couldn’t hold individuals accountable for completing compliance responsibilities on time. All these resulted in missed items on checklists and overshooting deadlines for all compliance regulations assessments.

“Before VComply, we were using spreadsheets, outlook and other in house tools to drive compliance. The data was in silos and there was no visibility. We overshot compliance deadlines and was grappling with penalties.”
