Impact assessed, owner assigned, decision on record.
In RegWatch’s regulatory change management, each alert arrives with its impact and recommended actions. Your team assigns an owner, converts what applies into an obligation and dismisses the rest with a reason.
The gap is between the alert and the owner.
An alert nobody owns is a risk you have seen and not handled. Impact assessments sit in documents, owners are agreed in meetings, and the reason a change was set aside is rarely written down.
- Impact is rewritten for every entity a change touches.
- Owners and due dates live outside the tool that found the change.
- Dismissals leave no reason an examiner can read.
- Consultation closes and effective dates slip between teams.
Decide with the reasoning in view
Open an alert beside the Inbox: why it matters, the business impact, the recommended actions and the source excerpt. Assign an owner and an internal due date, or dismiss it with a reason.
Convert it to an obligation
One action turns the alert into an obligation with the article, type, risk rating, owner and effective date. The originating alert stays linked, and nothing becomes an obligation until a person converts it.
Keep every date in view
Effective dates, deadlines, consultation closes, filings, reviews and attestations sit on one calendar, so each change is tracked to the day it applies.
What you get
Why this matters
Written for each alert from your company profile. It names the entity, license or product the change touches and cites the source paragraph.
Impact and recommended actions
Each alert states what the change means for your business and lists the actions the owner should consider.
Triage signal
The triage agent records its relevance score, urgency and recommendation to accept, reject or defer, with its reasoning. Your team reads the signal and makes the call.
Owners and due dates
Assign owners and internal due dates alert by alert or in bulk. Each watchlist can set a default owner and priority.
Dismissal with a reason
An alert is dismissed only with a written reason, and the reason stays on the record for review.
Obligations register
Converted changes become obligations with article, type, status, risk, owner, effective date and next review, by topic and jurisdiction.
Discussion and history
Each obligation keeps the team’s discussion and a history of status changes, owner changes and linked evidence.
Audit log
Changes are written to a tamper-evident, append-only audit log that records when, the actor, the entity, the action and the reason.
Questions
Can the AI dismiss or convert alerts on its own?
No. The triage agent scores relevance and urgency and recommends accept, reject or defer, with its reasoning. Assigning an owner, converting an alert into an obligation and dismissing it are actions your team takes.
How do we assess impact across several entities?
Your company profile lists each legal entity with its licenses, products and markets. The alert names the entities a change reaches and why, so one publication can land on your UK and Lithuanian entities with different reasons.
Can we export our decisions?
Yes. The Inbox exports to Excel with the columns you choose, including owner, state and internal due date, and each alert downloads as a PDF.
Do we have to replace our GRC platform?
No. RegWatch works alongside it. RegWatch finds the changes that apply to you and explains why; your team assigns owners and records decisions, and RegWatch keeps the evidence and the audit trail. Your GRC platform stays the home of risks, controls and testing, and your decisions reach it by export: the Inbox exports to Excel, and alerts and management reports export as PDFs.
