    Current SEC rules that rely on paper delivery of investment documents have led to significant paper waste and unnecessary CO2 emissions. Passing the Improving Disclosure For Investors Act is one simple way that Congress can help the industry reduce its carbon footprint. It’s time to enhance investor protections and allow customers to receive critical investment information in a more secure, accessible, engaging, and less wasteful manner. That’s why Fidelity supports the Improving Disclosure for Investors Act (H.R. 1807). Congress should enact it into law.

    🔑 Unveiling the Key to Business Savings: Efficient Key Management 🔑Keys hold the potential to unlock both opportunities and challenges for businesses. Today, we focus on the challenges—specifically the financial implications of mismanaged keys and how proper key management can lead to substantial savings.💸 Direct Costs: Lost keys entail immediate expenses, including replacements, rekeying, and locksmith services. These costs can add up quickly, impacting your budget.⏳ Indirect Costs: Beyond replacement, consider the time wasted searching for lost keys. Multiply this by the number of employees and days lost, and you'll realize the hidden time-related expenses.🔒 Security Risks: Unaccounted-for keys can compromise your business's security. Unauthorized access and data breaches can lead to financial penalties, legal fees, and reputational damage.📉 Productivity Drain: Lost keys disrupt workflows and lead to operational inefficiencies. The resulting productivity drop can have lasting financial impacts.🚀 The Solution: Efficient key management systems, like electronic key cabinets, offer a comprehensive solution. They reduce replacement costs, save time, bolster security, and optimize operations.🌟 A Wise Investment: Viewing key management through a financial lens reveals the importance of proper management. By adopting effective solutions, you're not just protecting keys—you're safeguarding your business's financial health. 💼🔐🚀 #KeyManagement #BusinessSavings #EfficiencyBoost

    Who's listening to your work calls and confidential information?If you haven't seen the news of a recent insider trading case involving an executive's husband overhearing insider information and then illegally trading upon that information, it's worth a read at the link below.From a risk management perspective, lawyers, other professionals, and even company executives should think twice about where they have conversations in our increasingly mobile environment. While most of us certainly think our homes are safe (although this might be a good time to remind your family members, house/room mates that what they hear within your four walls should not be used improperly), how many of us take calls or even video meetings in more public spaces? Fortunately, the innocent executive in this case was not implicated in a crime (although did lose employment). Keep your client and company information confidential.https://lnkd.in/eG-aEmEK

    How is digital crime prevention actually carried out using technology?I frequently advocate for employing technology in digital crime prevention, but what does this process entail? If you're curious, join us this coming Tuesday for a discussion on preventing fraud, waste, and abuse in your organization's procurement process.Procurement fraud is on the rise, largely fueled by generative AI and technology. Fraudsters can leverage technology to perpetrate known fraudulent schemes, create counterfeit images, payslips, invoices, and more. During the upcoming event, we will delve into procurement fraud and explore how existing data within your organization can be leveraged to safeguard against it.This event isn't solely pertinent to procurement fraud specialists. The methods and principles of procurement fraud prevention apply equally to financial fraud, detecting suspicious activities, and combating money laundering. If you operate within this realm, investing an hour of your time in this discussion could prove valuable.So, if you're intrigued, join us for an hour this Tuesday and delve deeper. It promises to be engaging!https://lnkd.in/dpzbT4Wu
