How do you really know if your data analytics program is well designed? Are you able to connect data across your entire organization, and have a holistic view of risk, instead of a siloed one?

This session will outline the newest lessons for building, scaling and implementing your program with DOJ Guidance at the core. Key takeaways for this session include:

  • Build it or buy it? Determining whether to build a program in-house or purchase an external product/solution
  • Behind the scenes of the strategy and methodology for building a program from scratch
  • Ensuring the datasets are equal
  • Getting the data, building the data and doing the analysis
  • Ensuring “scalability” when you have built the infrastructure
  • How to build it, how to make it useful
  • The Pros and Cons of building a custom system versus buying an off-the-shelf solution

  • Evaluating how monitoring changes when you have a small localized team versus a larger global team
  • Ensuring that data feeds and monitoring tools are working in real time
  • Developing processes for determining if an internal investigation is necessary and any additional action
  • Identifying which transactions to monitor and how to monitor them, including gifts and donations
  • Deciding which pre-approval systems need to be set up before rolling out a monitoring program
