Regtech, Suptech and Beyond is the first book of its type. It explores in great detail the emerging and best practices in regulatory oversight that leverage technological solutions. Folding in new research and analysis, it serves as both a reference book and a working manual, providing a frame of reference for regulatory developments and the important role of technology. Readers from central banks, regulators and firms pursuing technological solutions to regulatory and supervisory oversight will benefit from this handbook.
Technology and innovation continue to have a dramatic influence on financial services and products as well as the markets in which these are offered. Similarly, technology and innovation in regulatory and supervisory oversight are rapidly evolving. Covid-19 and the global crisis surrounding the pandemic has accelerated this evolution further still, putting regtech and suptech centre stage for both regulators and those they regulate.
In the first compendium of its type, editors Bill Coen (former Secretary General of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision) and D. R. Maurice (former Federal Reserve analyst) and have gathered together chapter authors who are deeply involved in the development of this essential financial-services oversight function. Authors spanning the public sector, including supervisory authorities and central banks, academia, and the private sector provide the reader with unique and dynamic views of both the current and future regtech and suptech ecosystem.
Divided into 5 parts the book explores in detail the emerging best practices in regulatory oversight and financial services which leverage technological solutions. Folding in new research and analysis, Regtech, Suptech and Beyond serves as both a reference and a working manual; providing a frame of reference for regulatory developments and the important role of technology. Readers from central banks, regulators and firms pursuing technological solutions to regulatory and supervisory oversight will benefit.
Part I - Prudential and financial stability issues
Part II - Response to global transformation – Innovation strategies and regulatory approaches
