Further Depth & Detail

Unlike other horizon scanning services, we do not automatically process or use AI to summarise documents. We have a multi-disciplinary team who dissect in detail each publication and provide a summary and firm-specific overview to show how the change may impact your organisation.

FAQ's

Q. How do you deliver your updates?

A. We are able to customise our updates to your channel preference. Whilst many of our clients appreciate email updates, some clients will value an email and telephone debrief, whilst others may want to subscribe to our regulatory portal, which will showcase not just key sector regulatory updates, but also offer the ability to look at out of sector regulatory change too.

Q. How quickly will you publish regulatory updates?

A. For relevant sector updates, we aim to publish key updates within 24 hours of the regulatory update emerging. This gives our multi discipline team ample time to digest and summarise what can often be, complex and long regulatory publications

Q. How long are your updates and how frequently do you publish?

A. We aim to condense updates to be no more than 1000 words, but that can vary depending on the complexity and length of the original source material. We publish updates onto our portal within 24 hours of major regulatory publications (e.g. policy statements, thematic reviews, enforcement action or other press releases). We also produce monthly summary reports to show the main regulatory updates which have emerged for the month prior.
