Understanding How RegTech Can Help
Regulatory technology, or “RegTech” for short, helps individuals and organizations manage the compliance and regulatory aspects of their businesses. Reporting, tracking enforcement, monitoring regulatory and agency updates – RegTech can make these processes more efficient and more effective. While it’s main application is in the financial industry, it is rapidly expanding into other sectors such as the consumer goods industry. Using powerful AI software, RegTech platforms can help your business by incorporating the following:
- Policy management
- Transaction reporting
- Training tools
- Product legal information management (such as labeling and safety manuals)
- Legislative and regulatory gap analysis tools
- Enforcement case management tools
- Product requirement management
- Identity verification
- Activity and compliance monitoring tools
- Risk data management
RegTech can bring speed and agility to your compliance and regulatory efforts, leaving you better able to focus on developing and growing your core business.
Understanding the Limitations
While RegTech can be incredibly powerful, it’s only as effective as the people behind it. RegTech and similar technologies can create a false sense of security. It is designed to augment human intelligence, not replace it. You need to know how your platform works, what it can and can’t do, and where you remain vulnerable. RegTech enhances vigilance, but can’t replace it.
