In this recently published annual report, Thomson Reuters outlines its predictions around regulatory reform for the year 2017. The skilled team of journalists at Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence provide expert insights around the regulatory events expected to shape the year, as well as advice on how best to prepare.
What lies ahead for the conduct risk regulatory environment in the coming year? How will this landscape continue to evolve going forward? What is the potential to cure financial industry headaches with distributed ledger technology (DLT)? And, on the other hand, what challenges does it create for the industry? How could innovations in automation help to ease the regulatory burden firms face today?
These are just a few of the pressing questions tackled by Thomson Reuters in its extensive report, The State of Regulatory Reform 2017: A Special Report, which outlines predictions made by the journalist team of Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence. The publication by Thomson Reuters addresses relevant regulatory issues for four major world regions, and takes every opportunity to highlight the benefits of choosing its own Thomson Reuters branded risk management solutions. Despite this, the report still delivers extensive, carefully researched knowledge around several critically important impending changes to regulatory reform currently on the global horizon.
