The compliance officer in an investment management firm tracks EU regulations and ESMA guidelines, decisions and letters of the financial regulator, stock exchange rules and internal policies and procedures. When a new version arrives, it has to be read in full and compared with the previous one, to work out which clauses changed and to decide which internal procedures are affected: suitability assessment, trade approval, periodic reports to the regulator, disclosure to clients. That is a day of reading for one document, and there are dozens of documents a year. Sometimes a change is noticed only in a query from the regulator or during an internal audit.
The solution runs on a private model in the MDP CLOUD GPU cloud in Lithuania (EU), so documents do not leave our data centre and do not reach any external platform. The flow picks up a new document version from the compliance mailbox where notices from the financial regulator and the stock exchange arrive, from the SharePoint policy library or from the legislation sources you specify, and compares it with the previous version in your archive. The model flags changed, new and deleted clauses, summarises the substance of the change and links each clause to the records in your procedure register, in a SharePoint list or an Excel table, where that topic is described. The compliance officer gets a list of changes in Teams with links to both versions and the affected procedures, instead of the whole document again. The officer decides whether and how to change a procedure. Every comparison stays in the log.
