"Financial institutions can no longer get by with spreadsheets or home-grown interfaces that require high levels of manual intervention. FINTRAC⁽¹⁾ has a mandate to deliver an effective national risk-based compliance program in Canada by 2014, and in order to satisfy the demands of the regulators and protect their honest customers, organisations will have to deploy auditable and automated risk and compliance frameworks to help prevent financial crime."
