Conference Details

CorpActions 2009 - Europe
Full-Day Conference

As financial markets become increasingly global, corporate actions becomes more and more complex. The high risk and cost associated with errors in corporate action processing make automation an imperative.

In the European marketplace, client pressure on financial services firms to streamline and improve their processing of corporate actions is intensified by regulation and efforts to harmonise cross-border clearing and settlement infrastructures. Firms must deal with the impact of these changes on the corporate actions function, while meeting client demands and keeping cost and risk under control through improved processing efficiency.

Securities Operations Forum, in association with SWIFT, invites you to attend CorpActions 2009 - Europe in London on January 21. Building on the US-focused CorpActions 2008 in New York, this one-day senior level event will provoke discussion, ask questions, and examine the challenges and developments impacting corporate actions processing in the European markets.
