29 February 2024 | CRD6/CRR3: Managing regulatory change to add value to your business

A Banking 2.0 series

The first in the series addressed the much-spoken topic of the imminent revision to the prudential framework being ushered in by CRD6/CRR3 - a pressing concern given the January 2025 timeline for implementation.

During this event, colleagues from our international Centre of Excellence for Regulatory Reporting, housed in the Netherlands, attended to lend their expertise. Together, we explored the main changes being brought about by CRD6/CRR3 and their implications to banks’ business models. We demonstrated some of the tools we are using to manage regulatory change, such as RegMiner, and how you can use technology to speed up your timeline for assimilating regulatory change and communicating strategic implications to executive management and boards.
