About This Automation

Regulatory change monitoring involves scanning agency websites, newsletters, and legal bulletins for new publications, then reading and assessing each one for business impact. Done manually, it consumes hours of skilled attention and often delays notice to affected teams by days.

The automated version continuously scans monitored sources, filters for relevance, and drafts the compliance register entry and stakeholder summary automatically. Staff review a short confirmation instead of repeating the full research and writing cycle.

Key features:
Scans monitored regulatory sources continuously for new publications relevant to the business
Filters incoming updates by jurisdiction, license, and industry relevance
Drafts a compliance register entry with source, date, and scope details
Generates a stakeholder impact summary in plain language
Routes summaries to department owners and tracks confirmation of assigned action items
Flags updates requiring outside counsel review before circulation

How The Automation Works

A monitored regulatory feed or agency bulletin publishes a new item.

2. Assess Relevance & Impact

3. Legal Counsel Reviews Summary

For high-risk changes, outside or in-house counsel reviews the drafted summary before it goes out.

4. Log Change In Excel

The confirmed update is written to the compliance register with source, date, and status.

5. Send Summary

The impact summary is emailed automatically to affected department heads and legal counsel.

6. Create Action Tasks

Tasks are created for each affected department with the deadline pulled from the regulation text.

7. Notify Team
