The Challenge
A major bank was faced with the challenge of ensuring compliance with CRS (Common Reporting Standard) and FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) Reporting requirements.
Identifying the impact of this legislation on their policies and procedures using manual comparison and analysis was estimated to take at least 6 months and involve considerable expense.
Further cost would then be incurred reviewing training materials and assessing compliance with these new requirements.
The Solution

- Classified every page of the regulations and every page of the policies
- Automatically identified where policies and procedures were affected by the regulation
- Published the digital content for the Banks’ staff, with knowledge tests embedded in every policy and procedures document
- Automatically collated and reported staff comprehension of the revised policies – for internal and regulatory reporting
