FAQs about our ongoing compliance support services
Compliance monitoring involves the ongoing evaluation of an organisation’s adherence to relevant regulatory requirements. It also seeks to enhance internal policies and procedures, by aligning with industry best practice standards. Ongoing compliance monitoring is designed to assist businesses to maintain consistent regulatory compliance, therefore reducing the risk of potential penalties for non-compliance.
The regulatory space in Singapore and Hong Kong is constantly evolving and firms must ensure they keep pace with regulatory updates in order to avoid penalties. Companies must establish a monitoring and surveillance process that allows them to identify, analyse and mitigate any potential regulatory compliance violations, reduce risk and avoid potential penalties for non-compliance.
We track important regulatory updates from the MAS and SFC and help clients understand, prioritise, and implement changes within their compliance framework.
In-house compliance is managed internally, often limited by resources and expertise. Outsourced support provides external expertise, flexibility, and cost-effective access to specialized regulatory knowledge.
Waystone’s APAC Compliance Team specialises in navigating the complex landscape of regulatory compliance in both Singapore and Hong Kong, offering objective insights, subject expertise, and a streamlined approach that addresses all of your ongoing compliance monitoring needs.
