Context

The regulatory change agenda continues during 2018 with new regulations that need to be complied with (e.g. RGPD, Sapin 2, PSD2) while implementation work continues on previously published texts (e.g. MiFID2 or IDD). In parallel with this, the prudential supervisory system has been strengthened, and supervisory authorities continue to impose, on financial institutions and insurance companies, a great deal of vigilance with respect to compliance and control of operations.

Issues

The financial sector is operating in an environment of greater competition with many new players arriving, particularly in the payments sector. The low interest rate environment is putting pressure on incomes, and in this context, internal control and compliance functions are caught between regulatory imperatives, the need to demonstrate their utility and the need to improve their operational efficiency. Using outsourcing and digitisation as levers for optimisation, compliance and control functions must continue to use robust and clearly documented internal processes.
