In Conversation with K2 Intelligence FIN: Jeremy Kroll on GRC Risks, Strategies, and the Future - Part 3: GRC and the Investment Community - a podcast by Thomas Fox

Welcome to this special podcast series, In Conversation with K2 Intelligence FIN: Jeremy Kroll on GRC Risks, Strategies, and the Future, sponsored by K2 Intelligence FIN. This week I visit with K2 Intelligence FIN, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jeremy Kroll on GRC Risks, Strategies, and the Future. Over this week, we are reviewing the current Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) landscape, GRC at work, GRC and the investment community, GRC and K2 Intelligence FIN and will conclude with a look at GRC then and now. In Part 3, we consider GRC and the investment community.
It turns out that the investment community should be one of the biggest users of GRC platforms and technologies, particularly when we examine recent events around risk exposure in anti-money laundering (AML) and other illicit activity. Private equity is built to grow businesses and GRC is a key component as a solutions system. One regulatory area that Jeremy Kroll pointed to was AML, “AML was something you might hear about because of narco-traffickers and that some of the big money center banks were in trouble because they were banking drug dealers. After September 11th, everything changed. There was a wellspring of professionals entering the field, either they entered it because they wanted to serve in government or they wanted to pivot in their careers and go from being an auditor, a lawyer, an in-house risk manager into this whole area of fighting terrorism, through tracking, tracing, and reducing the threat of illicit finance. It only picked up steam and in part because of the whole financial collapse and crisis in 2008. Even beyond that, I think what happened was that the regulatory and enforcement bodies both in the United States and Europe have really committed to cracking down because there is money laundering going on.”All of this has led Jeremy Kroll to conclude that investment firms are looking to invest in companies that can help mitigate these risks more than ever in a post-COVID 19 environment and that an increased innovation and growing number of solutions emerging.
