Use Case for Regulatory & Corporate Compliance Management

The Challenge
Today’s complex regulatory environment requires dealing with frequent changes to laws,
regulations and industry requirements and a constantly shifting compliance landscape.
Unfortunately, many organizations are ill equipped to handle the magnitude and volumeof regulatory changes and the impact they may have. The lack of defined processes to monitor
for changes, plus limited visibility into what may be looming on the horizon, exposes organizations
to unnecessary risk. Without established processes, organizations often fall back on business
controls that are based on outdated requirements or other ad-hoc methods in their attempts
to adapt to changes in compliance obligations.
The lack of visibility and understanding of impacts from regulatory changes often resultsin business compliance gaps and the increased risk of penalties and reputational damage.
With the rapid expansion of new and changing regulatory mandates, the lack of a flexible
change management process further results in duplicative or conflicting control activities.
Business controls that are implemented inconsistently become ineffective at protecting theorganization, hindering true understanding how shifts in compliance obligations impact
the organization.

Overview
Archer Corporate Obligations Management provides the necessary tools and capabilities
to document external regulatory obligations and establish a systematic review and approval
process for tracking changes to those obligations, understanding the business impact, andprioritizing a response.
