Webinar: The Rise of Regulation in Financial Services Alongside Regulatory Intelligence Automation: Friend or Foe?

How will the future of financial regulation impact buy-side and sell-side firms?  How will RegTech firms or the financial services firms themselves that perform Regulatory Intelligence Automation functions address regulatory conformancy? Please join this new ISITC webinar series for which we will discuss this hot topic.  There will be a panel of industry peers that will discuss key drivers for increased regulation, the regulatory response to financial technology capabilities, considerations for using regulation to increasingly deliver on social objectives, and the impact with broader societal concerns.

Panelists:

• Tom Dunlap, Diacscus
• Kirke Cushing, Cushing Consulting
• Walt Palmer, BNP Paribas
• Denise Steffel, Alpaca Securities

We will discuss related key topics such as:

• Focus on both recalibration and the relentless march of new regulation.
• Likely future focus on shifts in regulatory approach, shifts in geo-political balance, and the impact of the next crisis.
• No major rolling back of regulation.
• Risks of greater fragmentation of regulation across countries / regions, e.g., the UK, the EU, and the USA; China versus the rest of Asia, etc.
• FinTech developments that could bring risks to regulated financial services firms, generating a regulatory response in the form of new principles, rules, and guidelines.
• Technologies under scrutiny including advanced Artificial Intelligence, APIs, Big Data in itself, digital assets, robo-advisors, etc.
• Regulators likely to focus on data in the Cloud, outsourcing activities of compulsory functions (including to RegTechs), innovations in cross-border lending, insurance, and payment transactions with regulatory and legal risks, assessing the regulatory perimeter with timely updating.
• Increased pressure for regulation to support social objectives, e.g., ESG / Sustainability.

The panel will also consider how Regulatory Intelligence Automation technologies help support striking a balance between:

• Regulatory costs and constraints versus firms delivering on innovation.
• Advantages of Big Data versus data privacy concerns, data mis-use.
• The few dominant Cloud providers versus financial stability risks.
• More adoption of adjacent GenAI and LLM technologies versus adverse outcomes, inadequate risk management.
