14:40 Whither KYC

This is the third year that KYC has featured in the ACTS & ATC Forum. Treasurers are not seeing

much progress – rather an increase in KYC complexity and delays. But KYC is progressing, and

now is the time for treasurers to be proactive and reap the benefits of existing solutions. This

panel includes a case study of successful use of a KYC platform.

worrying reversals of the trend. We will use a new audience participation tool to gather the

state of the market, and then our panel will explore the impacts of this change of direction for

treasurers, what can be done to mitigate the risks, and whether this is a structural change of

direction or just a course correction?
