LONDON: Information Mosaic, the global provider of post-trade automation solutions, will attend the 7th Annual Back Office Forum, 11th - 12th May in Vienna, Austria, and present on eliminating operational risk in the back office through a breakless approach to post-trade processing. At the event, key industry participants from across Europe will gather to discuss developments in back office operations management.

Manmohan Singh, Head of Product Leadership, Information Mosaic, will examine the need for a holistic approach to business, cultural and technological processes in the back office, removing unnecessary manual intervention and reducing operational risk. The presentation will analyse:

• Risk elimination as a prerequisite for operational excellence
• The role of STP in risk reduction
• Significantly reducing risk by eliminating manual intervention
• Control measures for ensuring compliance and efficiency in the back office.

The recent financial crisis and the resulting focus on regulations have reinforced the need for the securities industry to examine back office operations. Calls for increased transparency and reduced risk mean that firms are now looking hard at how to streamline processes and reduce the need for manual intervention.

Manmohan Singh will be speaking at 15.10 on 11th May for the session: Eliminating Risk at the Back Office Level: A Breakless Approach and will be available for interviews prior to and after the session.
