REGULATORY WATCH / SCREENING / MONITORING & EXPERTISE - Private Banking

Typically, a regulatory watch / screening or monitoring is managed either internally by the compliance department / dedicated team or outsourced to an external service provider.

Bernadotte Consulting can support you to make the process more efficient.
We provide professionals with a monthly / quarterly regulatory watch / screening / monitoring newsletter with the following important elements of a Regulatory Watch / Screening / Monitoring for Luxembourg and European regulatory changes (other countries can be included upon request):

1. Monitoring the regulatory environment:

Continuous monitoring of the Luxembourgish and European regulatory landscape to identify new developments.

2. Recognition, prioritization and implementation:

Once new regulatory requirements have been identified, their impact must be assessed and appropriate measures planned to ensure compliance. This also includes prioritization of regulatory changes according to their business impact, focusing on the right measures to be implemented within your organization. A high-level impact assessment is included in our service and can be enhanced on request, in case you wish us to look into your business and applicability / implications more in detail.


The regulatory watch / screening / monitoring is available in 2 versions:

A basic version in which you will find a list of all Luxembourgish and European regulatory changes with a short impact analysis on the type of business.
