Big Data
September 9,

• What is Big Data?
• Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data – both structured and
unstructured – that inundates a business on a day-to-day basis. But it’s not the amount
of data that’s important. It’s what organizations do with the data that matters. Big data
can be analyzed for insights that lead to better decisions and strategic business moves.
• Why is Big Data important?
• As companies seek to become more data-driven, too much of the focus is being spent
on capturing data and not enough on uncovering insights. The brutal truth is your data
may hold a ton of potential value for your business, but it is worthless if no one is able
to extract useful, timely insights from it. If you’re struggling in this area like many other
businesses, it’s just going to get harder as your data continues to expand over time.

• What is BEPS
• Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) refers to tax avoidance strategies that exploit
gaps and mismatches in tax rules to artificially shift profits to low or no-tax locations.
Under the inclusive framework, over 100 countries and jurisdictions are collaborating to
implement the BEPS measures and tackle BEPS.

Risk Management
September 9,
2014
• Risk Management
• The total global expenditure on risk IT systems and services by financial institutions
(FIs) will be $70bn during 2016.
• The two biggest areas for investment are in the risk governance and integration field
($22.4bn), which is being driven by compliance demands, stress test reporting
obligations and risk data aggregation requirements, and financial crime risk, which
follows closely behind in terms of growth, as cyber and fraud risks multiply and
converge.
• The Chartis 2016 Global Risk IT Expenditure report aggregates all of the firm’s 2015
research to derive a global risk IT spend. The market sizing exercise by Chartis is
based on a comprehensive bottom up methodology driven by thousands of demand
side data points. Furthermore, the analysis has been validated by top-down data from
hundreds of technology vendors and consulting firms.
The report provides an overview of the risk technology market and forecasts 2016
expenditure for specific risk categories, examining the regulatory, operational and
reputational drivers for different sizes of financial institution (FI) and across different
regions
