Enforcement Targeting Weak Control Design – The GRC Fault Line
Recent enforcement actions point to sharpened regulatory expectations for evidence of controls capable of preventing, detecting, escalating, and correcting risk.

Swap Data Was Supposed to Deliver Transparency. A Decade Later, Regulators Are Still Trying to Use It

The End of the “Toughest Regulator” Model? Rethinking Global Surveillance Strategies
For years, global banks have built surveillance programmes around a simple assumption: meet the expectations of the toughest regulator and the rest of the world will fall into line.
