Evaluating Your Compliance Training - Are You Providing Enough?

Overview

Financial institutions are required to be compliant with laws and regulations. Such compliance needs to be well documented and consistent to ensure financial institutions avoid violations and implications. However, financial institutions often rely on their training programs to provide knowledge and education to their personnel. This training needs to be sufficient and thorough enough to provide the necessary information for them to properly perform their roles and responsibilities while remaining compliant.

Why should you attend:

Although financial institutions have been managing their training program per the regulation requirements, determining if the training program is sufficient remains a challenge for financial institutions. Regulators look to the Bank for ensurance and evidence that not only are the training programs compliant with laws and regulations, but that they are thorough.

Areas Covered in the Session:

• Assessing Training policies and procedures
• Common Pitfalls in training
• Determining effectiveness of training programs
• Ensuring qualified oversight of training programs

Who Will Benefit:

• Compliance Officers
• Internal Auditors
• Staff with roles and responsibilities in training

Background to Industrial Regional Benefits in Canada - Webinar By Compliance4all.com

Overview

Industrial Technical Benefits- Canada's new approach to offsets for defence procurement: As part of the recently announced Defence Procurement Strategy, the Canadian Government has introduced a new industrial benefits policy that is designed to leverage purchases of defence equipment to create jobs and economic growth in Canada. Companies pursuing defence procurement opportunities in Canada will be required to submit value propositions, include key industrial capabilities (KIC) in their proposal and submit detailed industrial and technological benefits (ITB) plans with their proposals that will then be rated by the Government.

This webinar will provide the background to the Federal Government's new DPS, and discuss in detail value propositions, KIC's, and ITB plan requirements. The impact of this new approach on defence procurement will be assessed. Concluding remarks will include a brief discussion of some of the major procurement projects now underway in Canada. 

Why should you Attend:

Defence budgets are being cut throughout the world's advanced nations. While Canada is no exception, new defence policies have been introduced since 2008 that provide for predictable defence spending over a 20 year period. As part of those defence policies, the Canadian Government introduced the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy that envisaged spending more than $40B on ship replacement programs over the next 15 years.

With the exception of the USA, this is probably one of the largest military ship construction programs anywhere in the world today. Coupled to the NSPS is a recently announced Defence Procurement Strategy that reinforces the industrial benefits program required for all defence procurement; a program that in many ways is even more demanding than previous policies. If you are considering pursuing defence procurement opportunities in Canada, you will need to join this webinar to be up to date on the new Canadian policy

Areas Covered in the Session:

• Background to Industrial Regional Benefits in Canada
• Impact of IRB's on the defence industry in Canada
• Policy changes over past three years
• Why a new approach to defence procurement was required
• New Defence Procurement Strategy
• Industrial and Technological Benefits 101
• National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy
• Impact of ITB's on shipbuilding requirements
• Major Defence projects 2014-2020
• Conclusions

Who Will Benefit:

• CEO's
• VP Business Development
• VP Marketing
• VP Technical and Engineering
• Senior Government officials in State and Commerce

Data Compression Methods and Compression Performance Metrics

Overview: The webinar covers the foundations of data compression in the context of the broader subject of information theory. The learner will gain valuable insight into how lossless compression works and why the techniques are robust and trustworthy. In the historical perspective, data compression concepts have arrived in a timely manner to aid the expanding data storage and wireless communication needs of the modern era. The measure of information is defined probabilistically, it is formally defined as entropy, a term that Claude Shannon borrowed from quantum mechanics. 

Why should you Attend:The information age continues to yield more and more data. The Internet, Big Data, Cloud Computing, and data storage requirements are measured in ever-increasing scales of Terabytes, Petabytes, Exabytes, and Zettabytes. Does data compression provide a solution to stem this ever-expanding flood? Can you trust data compression? Doesn't it put your data “at risk”? Are some types of data more compressible than other data? How do the methods of lossless data compression (covered) differ from lossy data compression? Take away from this session a meaningful understanding of lossless compression, its limitations, and the tradeoffs between storage reduction and increased processing required to compact and re-expand data. 

Areas Covered in the Session:

• Entropy as the measure of information
• Shannon's Source Coding Theorem
• Huffman Trees and Huffman Coding
• Arithmetic coding
• Dictionary methods
• Transform methods
• Data deduplication
• Implementation considerations, Open Source software, Hardware compression chips
• Performance

Disciplined Agile Offshoring: Making it Work for Both the Customer and the Service Provider

Overview: Offshoring software development projects suffer from two significant yet easily addressed problems. First, the customer's instincts for how to run an outsourced project are more likely to hurt rather than help them. Second, service providers (SPs) prove to be little more than order takers that don't have the courage to negotiate a winning strategy. 

Why should you attend:

• What will happen with your intellectual property (IP)?
• How do you know that an outsourced project is on track?
• How do you recover a troubled outsourced project before it's too late?
• How do you build a healthy relationship with your outsourcing partners?
• How do you know that a service provider can deliver in an agile manner?

Areas Covered in the Session:

• What the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) framework is.
• The risks associated with offshoring.
• Disciplined agile offshoring from the point of view of the customer.
• Disciplined agile offshoring from the point of view of the service provider.
• What you need to do to succeed at disciplined agile offshoring.
• Industry statistics regarding agile offshoring in practice
• Criteria to determine if you're ready for offshoring IT delivery projects.
