Looking for evidence of market abuse in communications data is understood to be challenging, as there are many ways that employees can hide communications detailing wrongdoing across a variety of communication platforms.

The need for effective surveillance in financial services is driven not only by the enhanced global regulation of the past decade – Dodd Frank, MiFID II and MAR amongst others – but also more fundamentally by the desire to avoid the market abuse that these regulations address as well as the resulting financial, legal and reputational damage.

In this article, GreySpark discusses how communication platforms and alert volumes in communication surveillance continues to increase, and how the use of advanced AI capabilities can reduce the volume of alerts and quickly identify misconduct without damaging the accuracy of surveillance operations.
