PwC collaborates on tech-based compliance product
PwC Switzerland, PwC UK and regtech company Cube have collaborated to launch Know Your Regulations (KYR), a technology-based solution to help financial services firms with their compliance duties.
The firms KYR draws on regulatory data from across 180 jurisdictions in 60 languages, quickens the process of understanding applicable regulations and identifies how the business is complying with them.
KYR shows the applicable regulations using Cube’s proprietary technology, gives a detailed view of what obligations the business needs to comply with and provides an analysis of where institutions are currently falling short.
The companies said that KYR has produced accurate and efficient results in the six months of beta testing and provides time savings compared to current manual methods.
