Abstract: This paper addresses important questions such as: what challenges are presented by new regulation to banks’ infrastructure, risk management and profitability, and how can these challenges be best addressed? It also examines the potential impact FinTech has on the riskiness of banks and proposes RegTech as the solution. Following a brief overview of the impact and costs of regulation since the financial crisis, the paper introduces RegTech in the context of challenges facing financial institutions and the limitations of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) systems. This paper’s main contribution is in its delineation of a regulatory compliance and risk ontology, the technologies that underpin it and the related objective-risk-control (ORC) model. The paper argues that these provide a platform on which RegTech can perform effective risk management and compliance reporting in a global post-crisis regulatory environment.
