  SAVE THE DATE: October 24th DAMA Scotland meetup in Edinburgh

  Apologies it's been a while but the next #DAMAUK #DAMAScotland event is confirmed for Edinburgh where our guest speaker Jack Walsh will be talking to The Application of Data in Rugby Union and the Importance of Context. I know many of you on the East Coast couldn't make it to the meetup back in March, so this is partly a replay of that session.

  That's a picture of Jack at work - not your typical office for a data professional and he switch to financial services, so maybe the Scottish weather eventually got to him.

  The meetup is being kindly hosted by Stuart Wallace and EY at their offices at Morrison Street in Edinburgh (nearest station is Haymarket), from 5pm.

  Presenters – Anusha Adige & Shuruj Khan (anusha.adige@uk.ey.com)

  Anusha is an experienced data management professional. She is working in Ernst & Young LLP data management and strategy team in Edinburgh. Her key areas of focus is on Data Risk and Controls, AI risk framework, and Data Remediation. She is excited to share her learning and experiences.

  Shuruj is a Senior Consultant at EY with over a decade of experience in Data Management. I specialize in Records Management, helping organisations implement efficient, compliant systems for handling records. My passion is leveraging data to drive business transformation, and I’m excited to share insights in our upcoming webinar.

  • Webinar overview - In today's regulatory landscape, data risk is critical as regulatory expectations intensify and penalties increase. Records management, a key component of data risk, involves systematically controlling an organisation's records from creation to disposal, ensuring efficient organisation, storage, retrieval, and preservation process.

  Without robust data retention policies and governance, organisations face increased audit and litigation risks, higher IT costs, and challenges in meeting evolving standards. Mitigating these risks requires a systematic approach to data retention, adhering to industry best practices.

  The proposed presentation will cover:

  • Industry Insights: Observations and impacts EY has noticed within the industry regarding data risk and records management
  • Regulatory Perspective: An overview of regulatory expectations and requirements for records management
  • Governance Requirements: Key elements of governance necessary for effective records management
  • Organisational Impact: Consequences of ineffective records management on an organization
  • Drafting Records Management Policies: Guidelines for creating comprehensive and effective records management policies
  • Banking Sector Focus: How records management should be implemented across the three lines of defence within a banking institution

  This comprehensive approach highlights the pressing need for improved records management practices to address increasing data risks. As well as providing the industry best practices which EY has observed.
