3. Trends in Compliance
The pressure on compliance and compliance monitoring has increased dramatically in the fast few years.
Important trends are:
1. A lot of new and modified legislation.
2. More stringent compliance legislation.
3. Larger financial and reputational damage when organizations are not compliant.

4. Trends in Compliance – How to tackle them
In order to be able to respond to these trends, it is important that organizations have access to the right
resources which they can use to:
1. Determine the impact of new and modified legislation on the organizations.
2. Show that the organization lives up to the current requirements.
The execution of these tasks is often difficult and time-consuming; compliance departments need to ‘retrieve’
information from the organization and transfer this information to others.

5. How it works – Clarity in complexity
The Berkeley Publisher facilities you in this. It enables you to translate complex legislation into decision trees
with help-functions.
This way, departments and employees can make autonomous decisions based on your applications.
This could concern both determining the impact of new legislation as well as how to comply to current legislation.
Besides, while going through an application, an audit trail is developed. The audit trail enables you to look back
at the decisions and how they were made.

6. How it works – Run > Check > Compliance
Legislation is translated into clear and understandable business rules. If necessary, you could add help-
functions or links to other sources.
By going through a question-answer dialogue the application determines which business rules are, or are not,
applicable. You can also check, per business rule, whether you comply to the current guidelines or not.
If your organization complies to the appropriate guidelines, evidence is collected via an audit trail. Potential
GAPs can be written out. The impact is determined and a manager is appointed who has to execute the
measurements established by the application.

7. How it works – Compliance Tools
The Publisher enables you to create insight in the complex world of compliance. The following tool, developed
by Totti Finance, gives an example of how to create insight in compliance. The tool helps you with analyzing
the GAP for MiFID/MiFID II, MAD/MAR, and PRIIPS.
The toos also helps you to determine which business rules are applicable to your organization and describes
the GAPs against legislation commencing per January 1, 2017 and current legislation (MiFID, MAD).
