Thomson Reuters Launches eLearning Suite to Address Increasing Training Requirements for Financial Professionals
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Thomson Reuters signs agreement with Present Value Training to expand its
eLearning solutions for financial professionals facing increasing training
requirements, starting in Asia
NEW YORK/HONG KONG, May 20, 2015 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source
of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced an
expanded suite of eLearning solutions for financial professionals facing
increasing financial training requirements.
The solutions will be made available exclusively in Asia before expanding more
broadly. Thomson Reuters has signed an agreement with Present Value Training,
the renowned provider of integrated learning solutions for the financial
services industry, to provide in-depth and localized eLearning libraries to
financial institutions in Asia, a response to increased training requirements.
"It is essential that professionals in the financial industry receive top-
quality training to ensure regulatory compliance," said Andrew Rawson, global
head of eLearning Development at Thomson Reuters. "The agreement between Present
Value Training, with its history in the financial industry, and Thomson Reuters,
with its background in compliance training, brings together two global leaders
to offer a solution of engaging industry and market-specific training for
financial professionals."
Thomson Reuters will integrate Present Value Training's
https://www.fitforbanking.com/tr/index.php
and http://www.fitforwealthmanagement.com/tr/ products into the solutions it
currently provides financial institutions in Asia. The 'fitforbanking' library
includes over 180 modules designed for bankers and traders, from basic topics
such as fundamentals of quantitative methods and introduction to fixed income,
to more advanced topics such as derivatives and valuation of structured
products. The 'fitforwealthmanagement' library is more specifically designed for
private bankers with topics such as portfolio management, investment strategies
and financial planning. Currently Thomson Reuters has more than 800 ethics and
training courses delivered in over 42 different languages.
"With the increasing volume and complexity of regulations year-over-year, it has
never been more vital for firms doing business internationally to continue to
invest and support the compliance function by ensuring that staff are adequately
trained to meet these regulatory requirements," said Andrew Neblett, managing
director, Enterprise Risk Management, Thomson Reuters. "The expansion of our
eLearning suite of compliance solutions further reinforces our commitment to
provide our customers with solutions that enable them to conduct business
globally while meeting their growing regulatory requirements."
"In the past ten years we have learned that most incumbent solutions in the
market only cover simple topics, or at the other extreme, illustrate the complex
topics ineffectively with too many words and terminologies," said Stefan Modrow,
founder and CEO of Present Value Training. "Eventually, some users lose their
interest and online training ends up becoming a short-cut to fulfill mandatory
continuing education requirements. We cater to the ever-evolving learners' needs
of keeping skills up to date with engaging and media-rich content as well as
relating the newly acquired knowledge to the daily routine."
Thomson Reuters and Present Value Training will also be developing quality
content on a variety of local topics relevant to Asia, including the Hong Kong-
Shanghai Stock Connect in Hong Kong and ASIC regulatory guidelines in Australia.
As part of the training implementation process, Thomson Reuters can customize
courses to fit the customer's industry and policies.
Thomson Reuters eLearning provides practical, interactive, customizable and
cost-effective compliance training programs, which assist in changing behavior
and supporting a culture of integrity. More than 800 ethics and compliance
training courses delivered in over 42 different languages; powered by world-
leading regulatory intelligence, which tracks over 500 regulators and exchanges
globally; updated in response to key regulatory developments; fully customizable
to fit your organization's learning objectives; with a comprehensive audit trail
to demonstrate training compliance, an essential part of your ongoing compliance
and risk program. For more information about Thomson Reuters eLearning
