The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) institutionalized, and now stewards, the International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) exam, the most ubiquitous neurological exam performed for spinal cord injury (SCI). Join us in this episode with Dr. Rudiger Rupp for a deep dive on the most recent update to the ISNCSCI, headed by ASIA's International Standards Committee chaired by Dr. Rupp. We hope you enjoy this zoom into the zone of partial preservation (ZPP) and non-SCI taxonomy, with Dr. Rudiger Rupp.

The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) founded and now develops the International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) exam, more commonly known as the "ASIA exam." This exam, which assigns a level and "completeness" of SCI, is the most common neurological exam performed in those with SCI. The most recent updates included the addition of zone of partial preservation (ZPP) and a "non-SCI taxonomy" (listen in to learn what that means

ESG compliance has fast become a focus for many organisations looking to address their wider sustainability profile.  However, its broad framework has left many scratching their heads on exactly where to start with evaluating and addressing various elements of Environmental, Social, and Governance compliance. For those looking for some direction, you may already have a solid foundation in place if you're certified to one or many ISO Standards. Today Steph Churchman will explain what ESG is, how it can be scored and what role ISO Standards can play in ESG compliance. You'll learn ·      What is ESG? ·      What scoring systems are available for ESG? ·      How can ISO Standards support ESG compliance? ·      What ISO Standards can support each pillar of ESG?   Resources ·      Isologyhub     In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates.

[02:05] Episode summary: Steph will be breaking down what ESG compliance means, how ISO Standards can support ESG compliance and give some examples of what ISO Standards can support each pillar of ESG. [02:50] What is ESG? – ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Analysis and evaluation against these three elements help organisations to consider different areas within their overall sustainability profile. The Environmental section looks at issues surrounding climate change and actions to address an organisation's environmental responsibility. This includes monitoring and management of your energy consumption, waste management and pollution. It also seeks to tackle how organisations can address, reduce and mitigate their overall environmental impact. The Social aspect is based around the relationships an organisation has with its stakeholders. This is focused on employees and looks at a broad range of topics including employee wellbeing, fair and competitive pay, benefits and human resource related policies. Considerations can also include wider business relationships such as supplier relations, local community and government work. Governance criteria focuses on creating a business environment that is fair, transparent, and accountable. Considerations in this area include board composition, fairness in pay structures and executive compensation, business ethics and risk management. [04:15] An evolution of CSR – CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is very similar to ESG, but is less sustainability focused. It also lacked substance in the form of effective and accountable scoring systems that held businesses to account. This is where ESG differs, with many scoring systems, certifications and even mandatory requirements driving businesses to address their compliance.  [04:45] ESG scoring – There are many schemes, scoring systems and certifications available for ESG, some of which are specific to industry sectors and company sizes. What one you pick will be up to you (note that some many be mandatory in select countries), however, here are a few examples: The S&P Global ESG Score – This assesses a company's performance and management of ESG risks and opportunities using a combination of company disclosures, media analysis, and industry-specific questionnaires. A score of 0-100 is given based on their findings and are relative within a company's industry sector. Fitch Ratings ESG Relevance Scores - Fitch Ratings assigns ESG Relevance Scores alongside their traditional credit ratings. These scores assess how ESG factors could impact a company's creditworthiness. Their scores range from 1-5, with 5 indicating the highest ESG relevance to credit risk. MSCI – They offer ESG ratings for a broad range of companies, it's not really limited by sector or size. They use a letter grade system, going from AAA-CCC, to assess a company's relative ESG risks and opportunities compared to its peers. The scoring for this one assigns companies as either an ESG leader, average or laggard within their industry.   [06:10] How can ISO Standards support ESG Compliance  – It's important to clarify that there's no single ISO standard that guarantees ESG compliance because ESG is a broad framework. However, ISO standards provide a strong foundation for implementing many aspects of an ESG strategy. [06:35] Supporting ESG – Structure and Framework: ISO standards offer a structured approach to managing environmental, social, and governance practices. This helps companies identify key areas for improvement and develop a systematic plan to address them. [07:10] Supporting ESG – Improved Performance: By following ISO standards, companies can demonstrably improve their environmental performance, social responsibility, and governance structures by putting in frameworks that align with best practice standards [07:30] Supporting ESG – Transparency and Credibility: Achieving certification to a relevant ISO standard involves a third-party audit, which verifies that a company's systems and processes meet the standard's requirements. This certification acts as a credible signal to stakeholders such as your investors, customers, regulators, that you're committed to ESG principles. [07:55] Supporting ESG – Risk Management:  Proactive management of ESG risks is a key component of any ESG strategy. Many ISO standards focus on risk identification and mitigation. For example, ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management Systems) helps identify and address bribery risks, which can have significant financial and reputational consequences. Or ISO 45001 health and safety management, which requires risk assessments to be carried out to ensure the safety and well being of your employees on site locations, which would fall under the social aspect of ESG. [08:30] Supporting ESG – Competitive Advantage:  Strong ESG performance is increasingly sought after by investors and stakeholders. Implementing ISO standards can help companies demonstrate their ESG commitment and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. You'll also feel the benefit of gaining multiple badges, through ISO certification and possibly an ESG score if you choose to go through one of the official scoring schemes.   [08:55] Think of ISO standards as building blocks. They provide the foundation and structure for a strong ESG strategy. By implementing relevant standards and achieving certification, you can demonstrate a dedicated commitment to ESG principles.   [09:50] Join the isologyhub and get access to limitless ISO resources – From as little as £99 a month, you can have unlimited access to hundreds of online training courses and achieve certification for completion of courses along the way, which will take you from learner to practitioner to leader in no time.

[11:55] What ISO Standards can support the Environmental aspect of ESG Compliance?: ·      ISO 14001: Environmental Management - This provides a framework for managing environmental impacts, reducing waste, and improving your resource efficiency. ·      ISO 50001: Energy Management – this helps companies monitor and  optimize their energy use with the aim to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ·      ISO 20400: Sustainable Procurement – This will help you to adopt sustainable procurement principles and practices within your organisation, by looking at how you can reduce waste, choose more sustainable options for required resources, how you can extend the life of resources available through remanufacturing and recovery of waste, and encourages the use of more innovative products and services. ·      ISO 20121: Sustainable Event Management – This Standard is mostly applicable to the events sector, and aims to help reduce the amount of waste produced during events, either through potential energy savings and the production and recycling of resources used during an event. It's recently had an update, so check out our latest episode to find out what the changes are. ·      ISO 14064: Greenhouse Gas Verification – This provides a framework for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions. This is a crucial step if you're working towards Net Zero, as you need to know what your baseline is before you can work on reducing and offsetting remaining emissions. ·      ISO 14068: A framework for helping businesses achieve Net Zero, this standard will replace PAS 2060 in November 2025, so anyone looking into PAS 2060 now may be better off going with ISO 14068 as it includes more guidance on purchasing credible carbon credits. [14:15] What ISO Standards can support the Social aspect of ESG Compliance?:– ·      ISO 26000: Social Responsibility – which offers guidance on integrating social responsibility practices throughout your organization. ·      ISO 45001: Occupational Health and Safety Management - which helps companies create a safe and healthy work environment. It provides a robust set of requirements designed for improving workplace safety in organisations and supply chains, with the aim of reducing workplace injury and illness. ·      ISO 45003: Psychosocial Health & Safety Management aka Mental health in the workplace. For the last 4 years or so, work related stress, depression and anxiety has been the leading cause for work related ill-health cases and lost working days. That's according to the annual HSE reports, which clearly highlights a big issue that many more need to consider and address.    [14:15] What ISO Standards can support the Governance aspect of ESG Compliance?:– ·      ISO 9001: Quality Management – this is the leading global ‘quality mark' for businesses and designed as a vital business improvement tool. It's quite simply A blueprint for running your business successfully. ·      ISO 22301: Business Continuity Management - Which provides a basis for planning to ensure your long-term survivability following a disruptive event. This is a Standard that many align with, but don't always certify to, and for good reason as it provides some invaluable guidance for establishing robust Business Continuity Plans. ·      ISO 27001: Information Security – This is a Standard that is common place for most sectors now, given how reliant we all are on tech. ISO 27001 will help you to implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS), which is a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, ensuring it remains secure and available. It encompasses people, processes and IT systems. ·      ISO 37001: Anti-Bribery Management Systems - It's the International Standard that allows organizations of all types to prevent, detect and address bribery by adopting an anti-bribery policy, appointing a person to oversee anti-bribery compliance, training and carry out risk assessments. ·      ISO 44001: Collaborative Business Management – This was originally  a British Standard that had been created to provide a framework for creating and managing collaborative business relationships between organisations. The standard promotes the best way for businesses to work together, thus effectively developing and managing their interactions with each other for maximum benefit to all.

On June 20, 2024, Bill C-59 received Royal Assent and officially became law, implementing its provisions into Canadian legislation. The Bill, along with Bill C-69, which was passed on the same day, introduced new subsidies to encourage investment in clean energy in Canada. Bill C-59 established the Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Tax Credit. Bill C-69 created the Federal Indigenous Loan Guarantee, the Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit, and the Clean Hydrogen Investment Tax Credit. However, the positive impact of these new subsidies was overshadowed by the greenwashing regulations added late in the process for Bill C-59. The new greenwashing rules amend the Competition Act to require that claims made by companies about environmental, ecological, or climate change benefits can be verified. Because of the ambiguity of what is needed to comply with the rules, many energy companies have deleted all GHG emissions and other sustainability content from their websites, including annual sustainability reports and commitments to improve environmental performance in the future. This week on the podcast, our guest, Kaeleigh Kuzma, a Partner at Osler in the Competition, Trade, and Foreign Investment Group, explained the new greenwashing rules. Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Kaeleigh: Why is greenwashing included in the Competition Act? Can you explain the provisions? What does “proper substantiation in accordance with internationally recognized methodology” mean? Why are the rules so vague, and what is the process for clarity? Do these rules only affect oil and gas and other heavy-emitting companies, or do they also apply to clean energy companies? What is the process for filing a complaint against a company to the Competition Bureau? What are the methods of enforcement? Other content referenced in this podcast:   Osler's detailed multi-part guide on the Competition Act amendments, with a specific section on deceptive marketing practices and greenwashing, here. Text of Bill C-59, see 74.01 (1), including (b.1) and (b.2) Form to provide feedback to the Competition Bureau on the amendments to the Act Kevin  Krausert opinion “Ottawa's anti-greenwashing bill will cripple cleantech innovation” (June 20, 2024)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/  Check us out on social media:  X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute  Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas Podcast Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Amazon Music Spotify

ISO 42001 was published in December of 2023, and is the first International Standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems. It was introduced following growing calls for a common framework for organisations who develop or use AI, to help implement, maintain and improve AI management practices. However, its benefits extends past simply establishing an effective AI Management System. Join Steph Churchman, Communications Manager at Blackmores, on this episode as she discusses the top 10 reasons to adopt ISO 42001. You'll learn ·      What is ISO 42001? ·      What are the top 10 reasons to use ISO 42001? ·      What risks can ISO 42001 help to mitigate? ·      How can ISO 42001 benefit both users and developers of AI?    Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      ISO 42001 training waitlist   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:30] What is ISO 42001?: Go back and listen to episode 166, where we discuss what ISO 42001 is, why it was introduced and how it can help businesses mitigate AI risks.   [02:45] Episode summary: We take a look at the top 10 reasons why you should consider implementing ISO 42001. [02:55] #1: ISO 42001 helps to demonstrate responsible use of AI.  – , ISO 42001 helps ensure fairness, non-discrimination, and respect for human rights in AI development and use. Remember, AI can still be bias based on the fact that AI models are typically trained on existing data, so any existing bias will carry over into those AI models – an example of this is the existing lack of representation for minority groups. We also need to take care in the use of AI over people, as staff being replaced by AI is a very real concern and should not be treated lightly. We've already seen a few cases where this has happened, especially across the tech support field where some companies mistakenly think that a chatbot can replace all human staff. We also need to consider the ethics of AI content. It's predicted that 90% of online content will be AI generated by 2026! A lot of this generated content includes things like images, which poses a real concern over the values we're translating to people. The content we consume shapes the way we think and if all we have is artificial, then what message is that conveying? An example of this is Dove's recent advert, which showed an example of AI generating images of very unobtainable ideals of a beautiful face. Which were predictably absolutely flawless, almost inhuman and something that can only be achieved through photo editing. If the internet was flooded with this sort of imagery, then that starts to become the expectation to live up to, which can be tremendously damaging to people's self-esteem. They then went on to show actual unedited people, in all their varied and wonderful glory and stated that they will never use AI imagery in any of their future marketing or promotional material. Which sends a very strong message – AI definitely has its place, but we need to fully consider the implications and consequences of it's use and possible oversaturation. [05:20] #2: Traceability, transparency and reliability - Information sourced via AI is not always correct – It collates information published online, and as many of us are aware, not everything on the internet is correct or accurate. Data sets carelessly scrapped from online sources may also contain sensitive or unsavoury content. We've had cases where people have managed to ‘break' Chat GPT, causing it to spew out nonsense answers which also contained sensitive information such as health data and personal phone numbers. While not usually accessible when requested, it does not stop the risk of this data being dug up through exploits. AI is like any other technology, and is not infallible. So, it's up to developers to ensure that the data used to train models is safe and appropriate for use. It should be expected that data sets will be scrutinised from a legal standpoint – either as a result misuse of AI or a mandatory exercise as a part of future legislation.  There's also research that suggests data sets can be potentially poisoned to produce inaccurate results – which is another consideration for developers using live data sets, who will need to stay on top of these risks to ensure the integrity of their tools. ISO 42001 provides specific guidance that covers how developers can ensure transparency and explainability within sample training data. [06:45] #3: It's a framework for managing risks and opportunities – AI, like any other new technology, is going to create new risks and opportunities. Risks include the likes of inaccurate data being used, existing bias in data training sets, plagiarism, information security risks and data poisoning. If you're simply using AI to gather information, it's also a good exercise to ensure that the information is coming from a reputable source. One easy way to so this is to simply ask for the source to be cited when pluging in a prompt into tools like Chat GPT and Gemini. You can then verify how legitimate that source is. For web developers and SEO specialists, Google has recently updated it's algorithm to punish those with a lot of AI generated content on their websites. So those within the SEO space may see some interesting trends over the course of 2024.  Another unfortunate risk is that of more complex scams being implemented through the use of AI. An example of this involves those who may use an AI assistant in their systems, which can be affected by malicious emails that contain prompt injections which could be used to send data from a victims machine to outside sources. This is only touching on a few risks, but as you can see, there's a lot to consider and I've no doubt that more complex risks will make themselves known as the technology evolves. However, there are a lot of opportunities to be found with AI use. There's a huge potential for AI to be utilised to tackle mundane and routine tasks which could be automated. AI also has the capability to scan masses of data and provide suggestions based on it's findings. Obviously, humans can't possibly compete with the sheer volume of data that AI can process, and so we can utilise it to help us make better more informed decisions. A lot of commonly used software has already integrated various AI tools which offer great quality of life updates and help make a lot of tasks quicker. Which in turn means our time is better spent elsewhere on tackling the more complex issues that require a more human touch. ISO 42001 can help you balance out these risks and opportunities by helping you build a robust management system to manage and mitigate risks, and drive forward opportunities through continual improvement.

Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [12:50] #4: Demonstrate that introducing AI is a strategic decision with clear objectives - Businesses looking to integrate AI should not make this decision lightly. I know it's tempting to play with the newest toy, but we should take care to look at any possible risks, and that it aligns with both your company objectives and ethics before rushing to utilise something. For example, allowing your staff to use ChatGPT for content creation. You need to consider a few things: You need to make sure Staff aren't putting in any confidential or sensitive information into publicly available AI tools. Also, ensuring that Staff understand that content provided by the likes of ChatGPT and Gemini could be plagiarised if used as is. You need to build, adapt and change the content so it's something unique. It's all well and good introducing AI technology if it truly is going to be beneficial to your employees and to the business as a whole, however if you're just introducing it because everyone else seems to be, then you really have to question if it's worth it. If it's not actively making your work lives easier and helping you to achieve your objectives, then is it really worth the potential cost and effort to implement? It may also be worth looking into how the AI tool you're using was created. There is sadly still a lot of exploitation involved in the development of new technology, so it's up to you to ensure that the tools you're using were created in an ethical way. Ultimately, ensure that you are using AI safely, ethically and that it aligns with your businesses established objectives. This will need to be communicated clearly to everyone in the business. ISO 42001 is, at its heart, a Management system standard. Like many other ISO Standards, it includes guidance on setting objectives and communicating these to your wider business. [15:24] #5: ISO 42001 helps to implement safeguards – Certain features of AI may require safeguards to help protect businesses against the extra risks they pose, such as the increased potential of more sophisticated cyber attacks or compromised training data. This can be applied within a particular process or an entire system. Examples of features that may require these safeguards include: ·      Automatic decision making ·      Data analysis, insight and machine learning ·      Continuous learning Something you need to consider: Cyber scams are going to become a lot more complex with the help of AI, so you need to ensure you're staff are both aware of this and how they can avoid falling prey to them. Safeguards may simply involve more training on these new risks, or updating to a more robust security software that is able to detect possible AI cyber scams. Developers are also going to need to keep on top of any data being fed into their tools. Public live data tools especially will be more susceptible to being poisoned and tampered with, so it's up to them to monitor and ensure the integrity of their data. ISO 42001 provides guidance in it's annexes for users and developers to implement these necessary safeguards. [16:30] #6: ISO 42001 Supports compliance with legal and regulatory Standards – More AI focused legislation is an inevitability, with the new EU AI Act being a perfect example. It's important to ensure that you are prepared to comply with legislation as it's released, or you may be held liable and be subject to fines. Currently, the UK has no plans to introduce a new regulator for AI, instead relying on existing technology based regulators like the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), Ofcom and FCA. ISO 42001 includes specific considerations for any potential applicable legislation. [17:06] #7: ISO 42001 Can enhance your reputation  – ISO Standards are internationally recognised and ensure you are complying with best practice. Gaining certification to ISO 42001 will show you are confident in your AI related claims, and are happy to have this verified by a third party. [17:30] #8: ISO 42001 Encourages innovation within your business – For as much as we've stressed the potential risks AI could expose your business to, ultimately AI is here to help make our lives easier. We just need to ensure we're responsible when applying it. ISO 42001 ensures you can safety integrate AI tools and systems within your business. It's there to help guide the adoption of this new technology, and drive continual improvement as your management system matures.  [17:55] #9: ISO 42001 Can be easily integrated with existing systems – ISO 42001, like many ISO Standards, is based on the Annex SL format and can be easily integrated with existing ISO Management Systems such as an ISO 9001 (Quality management) or ISO 27001 (Information Security management) system. Risks addressed in ISO 42001 include security, privacy and quality among others, and can help to enhance the effectiveness of your Management system in those areas. [18:25] #10: ISO 42001 Does not require an existing Management System to implement – While ISO 42001 would make a great addition to any ISO Management System, it's important to note that this can be implemented independently. It is also not intended to replace or supersede any existing quality, safety or privacy Standards / existing management systems.

Professor Aldo Ometto and Mr. Sergio Monforte join the Think.Future conversation to talk about a new International Standard for a circular economy driving innovative business opportunities as waste from one form of material is potentially a resource for another. In addition to the usual costs associated with production, they present the idea of generating economic, environmental, and social value from a new 21st-century strategic business model based on the principles of circularity and whole systems thinking.

There's no escaping it, AI is here to stay. Over the course of 2023 we've seen more general and public use of popular AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini (previously Google Bard). It's now even being integrated into everyday applications such as Microsoft Word and Teams. There is no doubt that there are a lot of benefits to using AI, however, with new technology comes new risks. So how do we address the growing concerns around AI development and use? That's where the new Standard for AI Management Systems, ISO 42001 comes in! Join Mel this week as she explains exactly what ISO 42001 is, who it's applicable to, why it was created and how ISO 42001 can help businesses manage AI risks. You'll learn ·       What ISO 42001 AI Management Systems is ·       Who it's applicable to ·       Why it was created ·       How ISO 42001 can help businesses manage AI risks   Resources ·       Isologyhub ·       ISO 42001 Webinar registration   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:05] Episode summary: Today we're touching on a very topical subject – AI, and more specifically the brand new AI Management System Standard – IS0 42001. We'll also be exploring who it's applicable to, why it was created and how it can help businesses manage AI risks. [03:30] What is AI? – AI – otherwise known as Artificial intelligence, as it's most simplest description is the science of making machines think like humans. We've seen a lot of AI tools be released to the public over the last year or so, tools such as ChatGPT and Google Bard. It's already being integrated with some of the most commonly used apps and programs like Microsoft word and Teams. In short, AI integration is here to stay, so we may as well get to grips with it and make sure we're using it responsibly. [05:10] What is ISO 42001? – , ISO 42001 is the first International Standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems, designed to help organisations implement, maintain, and improve AI management practices. It was jointly published in December 2023 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The emphasis of ISO 42001 is on integrating an AI Management System with an organisations existing management system – i.e. ISO 9001 or ISO 27001 compliant management systems. Interestingly, a lot of the specific mentions of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are within the Annexes rather than the body of the Standard. The Standard itself is very similar to ISO 27001 in that it's mostly about what organisations should be doing to manage computer systems regardless of any AI components. [08:00] The 4 Annexes of ISO 42001: Annex A: This acts as a Management guide for AI system development, with a focus on trustworthiness. Annex B: This provides implementation guidance for AI controls, with specific measures for Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning – if you'd like to learn more about the difference between the two, go back and listen to episode 135. Annex C: Which addresses AI-related organisational objectives and risk sources. Annex D: This one is about the domains and sectors in which an AI system may be used. It also addresses certification, and we're pleased to see that it actively encourages the use of third-party conformity assessment. This just ensures that your AI claims have more validity. [09:15] Who is ISO 42001 applicable to? – Those annex descriptions may have you assuming that this Standard is only applicable to organisations developing AI technology but in actuality it's applicable to any organisation who is involved in developing, deploying OR Using AI systems. So if you're a company who is only utilising AI in your day to day activities, it's still very much applicable to you! [10:20] Join the isologyhub and get access to limitless ISO resources  – From as little as £99 a month, you can have unlimited access to hundreds of online training courses and achieve certification for completion of courses along the way, which will take you from learner to practitioner to leader in no time. Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [12:25] Why was ISO 42001 created?: ·       To address the unprecedented rapid growth of AI and all the risks that come with this new technology. ·       To ensure that AI development and use are trustworthy and above all, ethical. ·       The public are also reasonably wary of this new technology, so ISO 42001 aims to help build more public trust and confidence in the future use of AI . ·       ISO 42001 acts as guidance for organisations on exactly how to integrate AI Management controls with their existing systems. [14:05] AI risks you should be aware of – This isn't an exhaustive list, as the technology develops, more risks will become known. However, as of the start of 2024, you should be aware of: Inaccurate information – Many of the chat bots and public AI tools are trained on publicly available information, and as we all know, not everything on the internet is true. So the output from these chat bots will need to be checked and verified by a person before being used or published. AI bias – Studies have proven that AI results can still be bias. As all the data fed into it is all based on existing information, it still presents the issue of a lack of information from underrepresented groups, or existing bias based on existing data. Time sensitivity – Not all AI use live data sets. Google Bard does, however Chat GPT is only accurate up until 2021. So double check whichever tool you're using to make sure the information it produces is up-to-date. Plagiarism – Data gathered using AI came from somewhere! If you simply copy and paste information provided by AI platforms, there's a chance you may be plagiarising existing content. Be sure to just use AI as a starting point! Security risks – Use of AI can expose you to additional security risks, For example, malicious actors could send someone an email with a hidden prompt injection in it. If the receiver happened to use an AI virtual assistant, the attacker might be able to manipulate it into sending the attacker personal information from the victim's emails. Data Poisoning – AI uses large data sets to train its models, and we currently rely on these data sets being relatively accurate. However, researchers have found that it's possible to poison data sets – so in future, AI may not be very reliable if preventative measures aren't put in place by AI developers. [17:45] How can ISO 42001 help business manage these risks? – Above all, it provides a structured approach to identify, assess, and mitigate AI risks. ISO 42001 includes the guidance needed to put this in place from the start to ensure you don't fall prey to the risks mentioned, with a view to monitor and update to address new risks in future. It promotes transparency and accountability throughout the AI life cycle. It helps ensure fairness, non-discrimination, and respect for human rights in AI development and deployment. It will help minimise potential legal and ethical liabilities associated with AI. The UK's current GDPR and Data Protection Act can loosely cover aspects of AI, depending on how the terminology is applied, but there are already dedicated AI based regulations being developed within the EU which will likely be adopted by the UK.  It can foster innovation and accelerate adoption of responsible AI practices. And lastly, it provides a common language and framework for collaboration on AI projects.

We're inching closer to our 2030 and 2050 Net Zero targets, and if we keep going the way we are, we're not going to hit either one.   This is unsurprising considering the lack of a unified approach to achieving Net Zero. There are a lot of options to tackle certain aspects of sustainability, but few outline an entire pathway to guide businesses towards a tangible goal.  However, that may be set to change with the release of ISO 14068-1:2023 – Climate Change Management! In this weeks' episode Mel explains what BS ISO 14068 is, who can use the Standard, and how this Standard can combat green washing.   You'll learn ·       What is ISO 14068? ·       Who is this Standard for? ·       Why was this Standard created? ·       How can ISO 14068 help businesses to tackle climate change ·       How can ISO 14068 help combat green washing   Resources ●      Carbonology ●      Grab a copy of our Net Zero Planner ●      ISO 14068   In this episode, we talk about: [00:25] Introduction and episode summary – ISO 14068 has just been published, superseding PAS 2060. In this episode, we'll explore what this Standard is all about, how it can help you and help prevent green washing. Keep an eye out for our follow-up episode, which will give you more insight into the 10 reasons for adopting this Standard to achieve Net Zero in 2024. [01:40] A passion for Sustainability – If you're new, you may not be aware that Mel is the CEO of both Blackmores and Carbonology. Carbonology was created as a sister company in 2023, and it's sole purpose is to help businesses to be able to demonstrate with credibility and complete transparency - A legitimate route to achieving carbon neutrality. [03:00]  What is ISO 14068-1:2023? – This is standard for businesses transitioning to Net Carbon zero. The standard for specifies the requirements for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality through the quantification, reduction, removal and offsetting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. [03:30] Who can use this Standard? BS ISO 14068-1:2023 can be used by any organization, in the private or public sectors, that wishes to make either the organization or a product climate neutral. Products may be consumer-facing or business to business, and include all types of goods and services, including events and financial services. [04:05] Why has this Standard been developed now?: To avoid the worst effects and keep the rise in global temperatures to no more than 1.5°C, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of eminent scientists has identified that we need to cut emissions of greenhouse gases by 40% in this decade and to global net zero by 2050. However, working towards a long-term target of net zero can be difficult without recognition of achievements along the pathway. That's where carbon neutrality can help; organisations that have a clear plan and have started making real greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions can counterbalance their remaining carbon footprint using high quality carbon credits / offsets to achieve carbon neutrality. ISO 14068-1 is the new International Standard that sets out requirements for organisations wishing to achieve carbon neutrality, including for products, such as goods, services or events. ISO 14068-1 also provides a rigorous and robust framework for avoiding greenwashing, and builds on the 15 years' experience of the previous Standard – PAS 2060. Organizations using the standard will benefit in two main ways: internally, through having a clear guide on best practice in reaching carbon neutrality; and externally, by demonstrating compliance with a rigorous standard on carbon neutrality. [06:40] How can the standard help businesses that are still scratching their heads about how to tackle climate change? -  The standard provides clear principles that entities need to consider when seeking carbon neutrality. These include establishing a hierarchy, so that GHG emission reductions are made first – and reductions are often the most cost-effective way of reducing a carbon footprint, avoiding the need for potentially costly carbon credits. The hierarchy is then used to determine a pathway to carbon neutrality, including short- and long-term targets for minimising the carbon footprint. The standard also explains how the pathway is used in developing a detailed carbon neutrality management plan, which provides clear guidance for those responsible for the implementation of carbon neutrality. [08:30] How can the standard combat green washing? In recent years, there have been many claims of carbon neutrality that are unsubstantiated or supported only by purchasing a few carbon credits, with a consequent risk of greenwashing. Following BS ISO 14068-1 means organiations will be able to demonstrate that their claim of carbon neutrality is underpinned by real action to reduce GHG emissions and includes a clear pathway to eliminate all possible GHG emissions, so it does not just fall back on purchasing carbon credits in the market. This significantly improves the credibility of a claim. [09:45] Keep an eye out for future episodes! We'll be talking more about ISO 14068 in future episodes, including the benefits of adopting this Standard. We'll also dedicate an episode to explaining the difference between Certification and Verification – so stay tunned!

INTRODUCTIONHave you ever wondered if the environmental claims or logos on your packaging were completely legit and adequate? Did you dive into it? Welcome to our new series: “Certifications Spotlight: Truths and Traps”! We'll unravel the mysteries behind the logos, certifications, and declarations you find on packaging. What do they really mean? When and where are they applied? Do they sometimes conceal key information? We'll weigh their pros and cons and explore the added value for everyone in the value chain, including end consumers.This series is the result of collaborations with experts who joined us with enthusiasm. Whether you're in the packaging or packaged goods industry, these episodes aim to equip you with knowledge and critical thinking to decipher what is too often put forward as foolproof guarantees. Today, as an introduction to many audio clips to come – with a focus on a certification or a logo in particular –, I invited Anne-Laure Bulliffon to globally explain the communication challenges of packaging environmental declarations, their different types, and what you can or can NOT say around them. HERE IS THE RECOMMENDED RESOURCE The website of the International Organization for Standardization, where it publishes International Standards: https://www.iso.org/standards.html.   WHERE TO FIND ANNE-LAURE BULLIFFON?Her LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/albulliffon/Albumine, in France: https://albumine.fr/ Profil'Pack, in Canada: https://profilpackaging.com/  ABOUT ANNE-LAURE BULLIFFON FROM ALBUMINEAs an entrepreneur committed to  ecological change, Anne-Laure founded PROFIL'PACK in Montreal in 2013  and ALBUMINE in Chambéry, France, in 2020.On both sides of the Atlantic, the two  agencies share a common mission: to enable food and cosmeticsmanufacturers to rethink their packaging systems in order to include  their products in the virtuous circle of the circular economy, to reduce  waste and ecological impacts.Thanks to of her dual Franco-Quebec  culture, she is keen to put her expertise and network ofmultidisciplinary collaborators in Canada and France to good use by  creating a bridge of resources and innovation between the two countries.  Anne-Laure is convinced that collective intelligence and access to  innovation are the keys to a successful ecological transition.Anne-Laure graduated from ESIREIMS in  2005 with a master's degree in packaging engineering. She specialized in  change management and environmental diagnostic tools (LCA, carbonfootprint,...) and circular economy at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure  des Arts & Métiers in 2020. PODCAST MUSICSpecial thanks to Joachim Regout who made the jingle. Have a look at his work here. I am happy to bring a sample of our strong bonds on these sound waves. Since I was a child, he made me discover a wide range of music of all kinds. I am also delighted he is a nature lover and shares the Look4Loops 'out of the box philosophy'. He is an inspiring source of creativity for me. 

Democracy activist Ahmed Zaoui is facing a new legal battle- this time for his life. The former refugee to New Zealand was arrested after holding a political meeting at his home. He's been charged with subversion, which can be penalised by up to 20 years in prison, or death. Lawyer Deborah Manning says Zaoui says the charges don't meet international standards. She says he was one of a number of political leaders who returned home when the political situation improved. "Ahmed went there before Covid, and was planning to go between the two countries- but obviously couldn't do that with our borders being closed. And Ahmed loves Algeria, just as any migrant loves their home- and he still has family there." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin visits with two guests today to discuss the RIMS Canada Conference 2023 on September 11th–14th in Ottawa! The first guest is the National Co-Chair of the RIMS Canada Conference 2023, Valerie Barber. Justin and Valerie discuss her risk career, her role with the government of Manitoba, and how Canada's provincial government is a good place to establish a risk management career. Valerie discusses some of the Plenary and educational events to expect at the RIMS Canada Conference. Valerie talks about Plenary Speakers Sinead Bovell and Melissa Agnes.   Melissa Agnes joins the episode as the second guest. Melissa is a world-renowned expert on crisis management and is the Founder and CEO of Crisis Ready Institute. She discusses consulting for agencies and large organizations, and how “Crisis Ready” beats managing a crisis as it happens. She talks about her Plenary talk for RIMS Canada Conference 2023 and what hampers people from being ready for a crisis. She shares some steps to being ready before a crisis comes and managing it when it does.   Listen in and learn to be Crisis Ready and protect your brand.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMScast and the RIMS App, an exclusive benefit for RIMS members. [:32] About today's episode, where we will talk about RIMS Canada Conference 2023 and hear from one of the plenary speakers about crisis management. [:55] All about exciting, upcoming RIMS events! Registration is open for the RIMS Canada Conference 2023, which will be held September 11th–14th in Ottawa! Visit RIMSCanadaConference.ca for more information. [1:16] For those of you based in Canada, Justin needs to hear from you about a game show he will be hosting on September 13th. A link to a survey is in this episode's notes. He needs your honest feedback, so he can say, “Survey says: …” Please check out the links in this episode's notes! [1:39] On September 14th, the Spencer Educational Foundation returns to New York City for its Annual Funding Their Future Gala. The event will be held at the Cipriani on 42nd Street. A link is on this episode's notes. You can also visit SpencerEd.org. [1:56] The RIMS Western Regional Conference will be held October 4th–6th in Vail, Colorado. Visit RIMSWesternRegional.com for more information and to register. [2:08] Head to the RIMS.org/Advocacy page to find information about The RIMS Legislative Summit, which is returning to Washington, D.C. on October 25th and 26th. [2:22] We are very excited about the RIMS ERM Conference 2023, which will be held November 2nd and 3rd in Denver, Colorado! The theme is Elevate and Evolve. Registration is open, as is a call for nominations for the ERM Award of Distinction. Those submissions are due September 1st. [2:43] The first guest on today's episode is the National Co-Chair of the RIMS Canada Conference 2023. She has also been a risk leader for the government of Manitoba for more than 20 years. She will share her risk philosophies and then we will talk about RIMS Canada Conference 2023. [3:01] Justin welcomes Valerie Barber to RIMScast! [3:18] Valerie started in accounting, for an insurance agency and company. After five years, she worked in claims at a brokerage office for several years. She took a position next with the government of Manitoba in claims and loss prevention, then insurance and risk management, and later, the director of the insurance and risk management branch. [4:18] Her background in working with losses as they happened and preventing future losses was a good foundation to move into the risk management side. Valerie is going on 24 years of working with the government of Manitoba, [4:53] Valerie's employer is a small but mighty branch of the government. There are four individuals, an increase. They are now fully staffed. It was incredibly relieving for Valerie to get the third and the fourth person hired. Since she started, she has done three of the four positions in the branch. [6:40] In Canada, there are significant numbers of pubic sector risk professionals in RIMS, attending the conferences and other educational opportunities. Risk professionals that Valerie has met are quick to share knowledge and experiences they've encountered that may help others going through similar situations now. [7:46] Among the RIMS provincial membership there is an informal group called GovRIMS, that meets before the conference every year. [9:32] The theme of the RIMS Canada Conference 2023 is Risk Evolution...Be a Part of It. Risk continues to evolve in Canada, as everywhere else, as old risks develop and new risks emerge. Risk managers today have to reimagine and adapt. What worked before may not work today. [10:15] Valerie notes numerous challenges: cyber, political, financial, weather-related events, fires in Hawaii and Canada, flooding, artificial intelligence, and pandemics. In 2020 RIMS was to have Vision 2020 in Ottawa which did not occur because of COVID-19. Three years later we are finally getting there! [11:32] RIMS Canada Conference 2023 will be held on September 11–14 in Ottawa, the beautiful capital city of Canada, named by CNN Travel as one of the best destinations to visit in 2023. There are many local attractions. Shops, the ByWard Market, Parliament buildings, and National Museums are close to Shaw Convention Centre. [12:50] The Shaw Convention Centre is exceptional, with stunning views of the canals and city skyline. The Conference Centre is very spacious to accommodate all aspects of the conference, including the opening night reception, the plenary sessions, concurrent sessions, and the exhibit hall, which we are pleased to say was sold out in space. [13:54] The Plenary Sessions feature speakers who are making an impact on the risk landscape with their followers. Day 1's plenary is Melissa Agnes, who is recognized as a leading authority on crisis preparedness, reputation management, and brand protection. There are many crises out there for which we need to be prepared. [14:45] It will be interesting to learn the types of strategies and the secrets to successful crisis management. The next big event is potentially around the corner, globally, nationally, or in our backyards. [15:28] The second featured Plenary Speaker, Sinead Bovell, is a future-of-work expert. She will discuss the future of AI in her address. AI is a prime example of risk revolution. An AI-related age discrimination case has been filed recently. AI hiring software was rejecting candidates over certain ages. [16:49] Valerie is interested in learning about the good things that will be happening with AI in risk management. [17:06] Closing out RIMS Canada Conference 2023 on September 14th is Lt. General Roméo Dallaire, an international champion of human rights, a mental health advocate, and a leadership & crisis management expert. Lt. General Dallaire is a Canadian national treasure not only for his military background but also for the work he's done afterward. [18:27] The RIMS CRMP Exam Prep will be a pre-conference workshop on September 10th and 11th on-site. See the link on this episode's notes.

[23:37] Our next guest, Melissa Agnes, is a world-renowned authority on crisis management and the Founder and CEO of Crisis Ready Institute. She will kick off the RIMS Canada Conference 2023 on September 11th with the Plenary Session. Melissa joins us today to provide a brief preview and talk about her risk management career. [24:03] Justin welcomes Melissa Agnes to RIMScast and introduces her. Melissa has advised people around the world from all walks of life. She has worked with NATO and other notable agencies and organizations to help them understand risk and build invincible brands that can withstand even the most devastating of events. [25:01] Global agencies and governments are slow to create change. One of the great things for Melissa is to work with the individuals who recognize the slowness of the change process and continue to advocate internally to uplevel the organization's skillset in crisis response. [25:49] Around the world in governments and agencies, Melissa finds incredible people with thankless jobs where even their stakeholders don't understand the complexity of their roles and there are a lot of negative viewpoints, yet they continue to work to level up their skillset and bring the cultural component of “crisis ready” to the organization. [26:38] Melissa coined the term “crisis ready” about 14 years ago. It came out of her frustration with the status quo of crisis preparedness. Melissa didn't agree with the status quo. She created a definition for “crisis ready” that is similar to but more than crisis preparedness. She started it as a hashtag, #CrisisReady, and it became a brand. [27:23] Crisis ready is about having a culture. It's not about having a crisis management plan document that sits on a shelf but about developing a program that permeates the organization. It consists of the mindset, skillset, and capabilities designed to respond to crisis in a way that strengthens trust. [28:07] Melissa explains about measuring trust. You can feel it. It's just not easily quantifiable. That's part of the struggle. In organizations, getting buy-in support for the “crisis-ready” culture is universally the biggest challenge that I experience. [28:51] No matter how “crisis ready” an organization is, there's constantly the obstacle of gaining buy-in and support. It's against human nature to talk about the negative. They don't understand what a strength-building positive it is to get past viewing “crisis ready” as a negative. [29:33] In her future presentations and book, Melissa will be talking about the five hindrances people face in getting “crisis ready” or dealing with crises as they occur. It's against our human nature to get ready. The five hindrances are avoidance, ego, fear, ignorance, and politics. [31:23] Melissa's advice for non-profits: First, go through your core values and make sure that they are your foundation, what you stand for, and why you exist. Make sure that you're living by them. Second, in alignment with the first, know how to respond to controversy. Controversy is a big part of the world, There is a tactic for responding. [32:24] When responding to controversy, be thoughtful, decisive, clear, and quiet. Being thoughtful means looking at the controversy, understanding what it is, and understanding the emotion and how it drives the controversy and complicates things. [33:26] Understand why it is controversial and divisive. Understand where it aligns with your core values. If you think you can appease everyone, you will have a hard awakening. Don't try to make everybody happy. [34:31] Being decisive means taking a stance. If you don't, it looks like you are trying to appease everyone. Instead, you will lose everyone. State your core values and the stance you are taking in alignment with your core values. [35:13] Being clear means being as clear and concise as you can in your response to the controversy. Talk about your core values. Do not leave room for ambiguity. Talk about why you're taking the stance that you are in alignment with those core values. It needs to be concise and clear. People may not like it, but they can respect it. [36:08] Being quiet comes when you have been thoughtful, decisive, and clear; there will be nothing left to say. Let the conversation unfold by itself. Let your advocates come to your defense. Let those who are upset have the space to validate how they feel and then they'll move on. Then you can move forward with recovery. [36:59] Often it takes an unfortunate situation for people to wake up and see they're not ready. At the beginning of her career, Melissa learned that she wanted her brand to be Crisis Ready, not crisis management. Crisis is an emotional time. Unless Melissa has a relationship with the leadership team before the crisis, her job is 100 times harder! [38:00] Without a prior relationship, it's hard for Melissa in the moment to help the organization cross that border of fear and ego. People get in their own way, and Melissa feels that she didn't do as well as she could have for them because they blocked it. [38:35] Melissa decided that she would build relationships before clients were hit with a crisis, so when they got in crisis, Melissa could kick into gear and serve them instead of fighting against their human nature of self-protection. She never wants to waste energy selling something to somebody who isn't ready. She started her brand with a clear blog. [40:04] A crisis can stem from social media or a physical event. We live in a complex world. A crisis has to hit certain criteria to be a crisis. If you call every social media issue a social media crisis, some people will not take it as seriously. [41:13] Melissa sat on the panel that developed the updated International Standard for Crisis Management, or ISO 22361. That was pre-pandemic, in 2019. It was a UK committee but Melissa Canadian, based in the U.S. Melissa says it was a huge honor to be put on this panel. It's always interesting to work by committee, but it was great. [42:59] Melissa can spot her influence in the standard. No one person can create all of that alone. She feels proud of the collective efforts and collaboration of the committee and their lived experiences that contributed to creating that whole. [44:06] Melissa is very excited about RIMS Canada Conference 2023! She will be bringing to the stage something that she can't find anywhere else. The message is so important so she has so much passion for sharing what she's going to share and engaging and interacting with the audience. She feels very honored to be able to do that. [44:47] Without ego, Melissa says she hopes the audience will listen in. She is passionate about this message in the talk she's been giving this year. It lights her up. Melissa doesn't believe we've been set up for success in our society, from kindergarten straight through, and that will be part of her message. [44:25] Justin looks forward to meeting Melissa Agnes at RIMS Canada Conference and thanks her for joining us on RIMScast! [45:38] Special thanks to my guests for joining me.

They continue to advocate  internally for the need to uplevel their skillset in crisis response.” — Melissa Agnes   “In these large organizations, … getting buy-in support [for a ‘crisis ready' culture] is universally the biggest challenge that I and anybody in my shoes, whether they're consultants or they're internally advocating for this, experience.” — Melissa Agnes

The use and management of fluorine-based chemical pollutants is problematic, making better group approaches and analysis necessary. Researchers from the AIST institute, Japan and Örebro University, Sweden have offered novel insight into how these chemicals disproportionally affect younger women, and offer new standards and techniques for better identifying organofluorines, many of which at present remain unknown.Read the original research: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129025

RNZ can reveal which other hospital radiology departments are at high risk of failing to meet international standards. They are Wellington, the Hutt and Hawke's Bay hospitals. We also now know Nelson and Whanganui are at medium risk. Staff shortages are a critical problem and doctors are speaking out saying it's no wonder given how hard they've found it to come here to work. Phil Pennington reports. [audio_play] Te Whatu Ora - Health NZ says while IANZ accreditation is important, it can be too costly and administratively difficult for small hospitals to apply. It says the departments all have numerous internal levels of insight. IANZ however says it offers secondary, simpler 'recognition' for small hospitals, and that it provides the only independent accreditation option. It says this could play a critical role in assuring a consistent level of radiology service delivery motu-wide and so provide data to Te Whatu Ora on how things are going.

Russia proposes a new international standard for trading in precious metals: the Moscow World Standard (#MWS) which will become an alternative to the London Bullion Market Association (#LBMA) which systematically manipulates precious #metals markets to depress prices. According to the Russian Finance Ministry, #preciousmetals prices will be fixed either in the national #currencies of key member countries or using new monetary units used in international trade—for instance, the new #BRICS currency proposed by Putin.

In this episode, we'll be talking about discussing ISO 45003;2021, the international standard on psychological health and safety at work from an American perspective. The guest is Kahlilah Guyah, a Certified Environmental, Health & Safety Consultant, Speaker, and CEO of EHS Compliance Services, Incorporated in Austin, Texas. Kahlilah discusses the use of international standards such as 45003 and 45001 in occupational health and safety management systems in her work across the United States. From her perspective addressing psychological health and safety is similar to managing other health and safety hazards. Organizations that take health and safety seriously can use very similar methods to address psychosocial hazards.

The financial crime compliance officers that responded to a LexisNexis Risk Solutions survey of financial institutions in 26 markets around the world said they spent US$213.9 billion on compliance with financial crime regulations in 2020. If the main finding of a Refinitiv survey of 19 markets in 2018 still holds, and firms are spending 3.1 per cent of annual turnover on Know Your Client (KYC), Anti Money Laundering (AML), Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) and sanctions screening measures, the expenditure is much higher than that figure suggests: US$1.28 trillion, in fact. Despite such vast expenditures, compliance breaches do occur, and regulatory fines ensue. According to the Kroll Enforcement Survey, between 2016 and the first half of 2021, financial institutions paid 338 regulatory fines for money laundering, sanctions breaches and bribery that totalled almost US$26 billion. These fines can be surprisingly chunky. HSBC paid US$1.92 billion in 2013 and ING US$900 million in 2018. Then there is the cost of the financial crime itself. This is much harder to estimate, but the Refinitiv survey put it at 3.5 per cent of the turnover of its respondents, or US$1.45 trillion. And this is the true absurdity: the cost of financial crime compliance (US$1.28 trillion) is now almost as expensive as financial crime itself (US$1.45 trillion). That is the reductio ad absurdum of half a century of regulatory pressure on money launderers, terrorists and other financial criminals. Since the United States passed the Bank Secrecy Act in 1970 to discourage money laundering through secret bank accounts, the financial services industry has assumed a steadily mounting burden of compliance obligations. The PATRIOT Act of 2021 added CFT to the AML requirements of the 1970 Act – and, fatefully, for the first time obliged financial institutions to implement a Customer Identification Program (CIP) to verify the identity of individuals that wish to conduct financial transactions with them. These originally American measures have over the last decade become universal. They are now embodied in the International Standards on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism and Proliferation, first published by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in 2012 and updated regularly ever since. More than 200 jurisdictions endorse them now. The European Union (EU) is on the sixth iteration of its Anti Money Laundering Directive (AMLD VI). Yet the chief characteristic of all these legislative and regulatory measures is that they do not work. Financial crime continues to increase. Mounting quantities of people and technology may have slowed its rate of increase but they have manifestly failed to solve the problem. Indeed, the growing volume of e-commerce, crypto-currency and digital assets business, spurred on by the Pandemic, is once more increasing the rate of increase of financial crime. Meanwhile, compliance is not only despised by the revenue generators. It has lost sight completely of its original objective of reducing crime and become an end in itself: a meaningless set of routines designed to avoid fines and reputational damage for non-compliance, by gold-plating processes, over-reporting data and tolerating embarrassingly high proportions of false positives. In short, all that 50 years of increasingly onerous legislative and regulatory measures have achieved is increased costs for financial institutions. Hosted on Acast.
