Managing change in an increasingly regulated market

As regulators revamp lending laws and take actions, compliance demands are escalating. In the wake of these considerable changes, it has never been more critical for banks to be able to demonstrate strong regulatory change management capabilities. To do so, they require purpose-built technology solutions that have been tailored to meet the specific needs of the financial community.

Despite the fact that today’s regulatory environment is far too complex to effectively manage without the help of technology and automated resources, reliance on manual processes continues to be a stumbling block for lenders. In fact, respondents in the 2022 Wolters Kluwer Regulatory & Risk Indicator survey revealed that this challenge represents their chief obstacle to implementing an effective compliance program.

What are your biggest obstacles to maintaining an effective compliance program?

Understanding what laws, rules, and regulations apply to your organization ― and mapping the regulatory library to internal policies, procedures, risks, controls, products, services, organizational units, and other elements of your compliance program ― is critical and expected, regardless of the size of the institution. In this way, a regulatory library adds tremendous value as a critical feature of the regulatory change management process.

Embracing new solutions can be instrumental in helping compliance professionals move beyond antiquated approaches that can put banks at risk. If implemented correctly, cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) can help modernize and improve virtually any regulatory compliance program, driving better insights and business outcomes, as well as fostering a sustainable and accountable process.

By embracing the optimal strategies and implementing holistic technological solutions, lenders gain the control, certainty, and efficiency to successfully mitigate risk and manage ongoing regulatory changes. Investing in the right purpose-driven tools can optimize a bank’s ability to streamline, automate, and ultimately ensure compliance.

We’re pleased to offer a white paper in which we detail the dynamics contributing to the current highly scrutinized banking environment and examine how implementing a holistic approach to compliance can help lenders to successfully mitigate risk and manage regulatory changes.
