NEW YORK, September 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) business and the
largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and
compliance software platform for the financial services industry,
announces that Mary L. Schapiro, the
only person to have served as both Chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC), will keynote its ENGAGE 2014 Client Forum, an
exclusive gathering of executive leadership from the world's most
prominent financial institutions. In its eleventh year, the ENGAGE
Client Forum is an invitation-only event organized to foster
idea-sharing among NICE Actimize clients and invited industry
leaders. The event will take place in New
York City on October 21-22.
In addition to Schapiro, FBI Special Agent Gregory A. Coleman - known for his role in
leading the pursuit and criminal investigation into the dealings of
the so-called "Wolf of Wall Street," Jordan
Belfort - will talk about his work with the Federal Bureau
of Investigation and his pursuit of a range of financial fraudsters
particularly focused on anti-money laundering related
activities.
Themed "ENGAGE" to reflect the interaction between NICE Actimize
and its client community, this year's event is expected to be
attended by more than 300 senior-level global professionals and
will include more than 40 executive-level presentations and panels.
Featuring senior client leadership and NICE Actimize subject matter
experts, specialized content tracks will be dedicated to anti-money
laundering, fraud detection and prevention, financial markets
compliance and case management technology.
"For the past eleven years, our client base has partnered with
us at Client Forum to share knowledge, experiences and ideas with
their global colleagues regarding financial crime and compliance
best practices and strategies," said Joe
Friscia, president, NICE Actimize. "As the industry's
problems have grown in scope and complexity, our Client Forum
itself has also grown its ability to serve in an advisory capacity
and as an open, idea-sharing venue."
Schapiro served as the 29th Chairman of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (2009-2012) as well as Commissioner
(1988-1994). During four years as SEC chairman, she presided over
one of the busiest rule-making agendas in the agency's history,
during which the agency also brought a record number of enforcement
actions, and executed a comprehensive restructuring program to
improve protections for investors. She was appointed Chairman of
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) by President
Bill Clinton in 1994 and served in
that capacity until 1996. Prior to becoming SEC Chairperson, she
was CEO of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) -
the largest non-governmental regulator for all securities firms
doing business with the U.S. public-where she served until
2008.
FBI Special Agent Gregory A.
Coleman, widely known for his pursuit of Stratton Oakmont, a
Long Island over-the-counter
brokerage house lead by the "Wolf of Wall Street" Jordan Belfort, joined the FBI in 1989. From
1989-1992, Coleman investigated Ponzi and advance fee schemes under
the mail and wire fraud statutes and provided support for an
undercover investigation targeting fraud in the commodities
markets. In 1992, Coleman became one of the original members of an
investigative squad established to address securities fraud and
commodities fraud on a full-time basis. In September 2008, Coleman moved to his current
position as part of the Asset Forfeiture/Money Laundering Team.
