Financial services
Financial employees have access to confidential information and financial resources. This entails risks, such as fraud, money laundering and reputational damage. Employment screening in financial services is therefore crucial. In addition, the Financial Supervision Act (Wft) prescribes that institutions must demonstrably meet strict requirements of regulators such as the AFM and DNB.

Additionally, you can read our blog "Four screening trends in finance" to learn which developments are currently taking place within screening processes in the financial sector.
Comply with the Financial Supervision Act (Wft) and make your screening process audit compliant
Screening candidates can be a complex and (privacy) sensitive process. Especially in financial services, where you are obliged to comply with the Wft and are increasingly confronted with strict audits by regulators such as DNB and AFM. For example, the duty of care, the certificate of conduct (VOG) and the Wft diploma: you must be able to guarantee the quality and integrity of (potential) employees and also document this in an audit compliant manner for audit purposes. DISA is here to help you with audit compliant employment screening that complies with all laws and regulations.
