Regulatory Due Diligence

What is regulatory due diligence?

With today’s businesses under increased pressure to meet ever-evolving regulatory requirements, you want to make sure your organisation remains compliant – now and into the future.

Regulatory due diligence should be part of your overall due diligence activities and is a process for comprehensively assessing the compliance status of your own organisation and those with which you do business. Typically, these assessments involve extensive background research and documentation review so you can:

• reveal previously unknown issues
• mitigate risk
• understand your regulatory obligations
• verify that the third parties you work with are legitimate and sound
• evaluate potential impact to your business
• correct issues

Failure to conduct thorough regulatory due diligence can result in personnel, reputational, legal and financial problems and may even have criminal implications for your organisation. Thus, it’s a good idea to regularly conduct regulatory audits and solidify your company’s regulatory due diligence practices.

Essentially, regulatory due diligence provides you with a clear view so you can navigate today’s complex regulatory landscape and safely, successfully and confidently move your business forward.
