BCS Financial Group To Implement Market Abuse Surveillance Prior To UK Expansion
- Russian based BCS Financial is to install b-next CMC:Suite for surveillance as part of its expansion into the UK where it will offer FCA regulated trading facilities across a wide range of asset classes.
Automation is often an effective and cost saving means of standardizing, what would otherwise be bureaucratic and painstaking procedures. The method by which national financial markets regulatory authorities conduct compliance checks and routine inspections relating to the conduct of market participants, is a case in point.
Today, financial surveillance system provider b-next, has announced that it is to provide surveillance, insider dealing and compliance software to Russian company BCS Financial Group (BCS).
In certain cases, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, regulatory authorities have invested in surveillance systems, as in the case of Australian regulator ASIC, which operates the First Derivatives Delta Stream system, which is in the process of being rolled out, alongside its existing SMARTS system in order to conduct real-time monitoring of firms activities.
In this particular case, it is the company itself which has invested in the b-next CMC:Suite monitoring software, in order to bring to the firm’s attention any instances of market abuse and insider dealing, as part of its expansion into the UK, where it will offer a full suite of investment banking activities, and trading across a wide range of asset classes.
