Description
AscentAI is a pioneering regulatory technology platform designed to transform the way businesses handle compliance. Launched in 2015, AscentAI empowers financial institutions to navigate the complex and dynamic world of regulatory compliance with speed and confidence. The platform automates the full regulatory lifecycle, significantly reducing the time and effort required for compliance tasks that traditionally took days or weeks.
The core of AscentAI's offering is its Regulatory Lifecycle Management (RLM) Platform, which integrates horizon scanning and change management automation. This platform is composed of two key modules: AscentHorizon and AscentFocus. AscentHorizon provides a consolidated view of regulatory developments, including news, guidance, and amendments, tailored to user-specific needs. It eliminates irrelevant information and offers automatic document linking capabilities for a comprehensive perspective.
AscentFocus automates change management by establishing a robust Obligations Inventory that defines all the rules a business needs to comply with. It identifies obligation gaps and duplicates, automates change management processes, and integrates seamlessly with leading GRC platforms. This ensures that obligations, policies, and controls reflect current regulatory requirements, providing end-to-end traceability and audit readiness.
AscentAI's solutions are designed for financial institutions and compliance teams that need to manage complex global regulations. By automating manual processes, AscentAI reduces costs, minimizes risks, and enhances productivity, allowing teams to focus on higher-value work. The platform's AI-driven insights enable collaborative decision-making and help businesses scale compliance efforts as they expand into new markets and jurisdictions.
