Trends in financial regulation

As the world pays greater attention to regulatory supervision, various fields are facing increasing compliance costs. If we were to ask what was the fastest growing field in 2020? I believe many people will think it is regulation!

The trend of strict supervision has been the most severe in the financial industry. Supervisory agencies In Taiwan, including the Financial Supervisory Commission, have imposed growingly strict supervision requirements on the financial industry, as well as heavier fines. In response to these supervisory measures, the financial industry gradually implemented new internal control and internal audit systems for compliance a few years ago, such as the assessment of regulatory risks, business units appointing compliance managers as the first line of defense, and compliance self-assessment system.

Current manual compliance process of compliance personnel

However, there is a plethora of financial-related laws and regulations, and business units have a large number of complex business manuals. Therefore, many compliance personnel of financial institutions must spend a lot of time on tedious and highly repetitive comparisons of internal and external regulations, in order to help companies avoid risks or fines due to not proposing response measures in their internal regulations when laws are amended.

Lawsnote Compliance System Solution

As Taiwan's leading legal technology solutions provider, Lawsnote received many requests from corporate customers for a compliance system, and began to look into solutions for applying AI to compliance systems. It thus developed the Lawsnote RegTech compliance system for compliance personnel to automate parts of their work process, reducing the tedious and repetitive work of compliance personnel.

A Regulatory database, search, and notification of regulatory changes

As the basis of the RegTech system, the compliance process is triggered by "regulations", so it is necessary to have a "complete" and "real-time" regulatory database and regulatory update mechanism for specific fields.

However, regulations are not limited to "laws" enacted by the Legislative Yuan, but also include "administrative rules" and "legal orders" enacted by administrative agencies authorized by law, as well as "administrative interpretations" used to interpret regulations. These are all considered regulations that the compliance system must comply with.

There is currently no unified data source for these regulatory data. Except for the Laws & Regulations Database of the Republic of China (Taiwan), many regulations are scattered on independent webpages for regulations on the websites of different agencies, organizations, or associations, making the cost of collecting complete regulations very high.

Since laws and regulations will be amended, new administrative letters and interpretations will be issued or old ones abolished, updating regulatory changes is also a big problem. Even if complete laws and regulations are collected once, failure to continuously monitor changes in laws, regulations, and administrative letters and interpretations will also create a gap in compliance.

As a professional legal search engine, Lawsnote has a complete database of regulations and interpretations, and can send notices of regulatory changes required by various fields in response to the needs of compliance systems.

B1. Internal regulations database and search

Internal management by companies through regulations are called "internal regulations." General types of internal regulations include company internal regulations, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and business instruction manuals. Depending on the intensity of industry-specific supervision, the number and density of company internal regulations will vary depending on the industry.

In industries with high supervisory density, the number of internal regulations sometimes reaches thousands or even tens of thousands. With such a huge number of internal regulations, paper or simple filing systems can no longer meet the internal needs of enterprises. The process of searching for and complying with internal regulations might require a significant amount of time and personnel costs if an internal regulations database and search engine are not establish.

Lawsnote has Taiwan's most powerful legal information search engine, patent search technology, and uses AI to optimize its sorting algorithm. It can establish an "internal regulations database"for internal data, such as company internal regulations, SOPs, and instruction manuals, and applies search engine technology to the internal regulations database, achieving a fast, complete, and easy-to-use internal regulations database and search engine.

B2. <Regulations – Internal Regulations> Article-to-Article Linking Mechanism

When regulations are revised, the company's internal regulations must also be inspected and adjusted accordingly.

The company's internal regulation inspection procedures may be initiated by compliance personnel based on regulatory amendments, or may be initiated by the compliance officer of the business unit (the first line of defense), and then reviewed by compliance personnel (the second line of defense). However, regardless of which unit initiates it, the difficulty lies in finding the article of internal regulations that correspond to the amended article of the law to determine whether amendments are necessary.

Due to the large number of internal regulations, complicated terms, and the different forms of business involved, if internal regulations must be reviewed every time laws and regulations are revised, it will consume a huge amount of time. Therefore, compliance personnel usually rely heavily on experience and aim to minimize risk within limited time.

Moreover, due to the way internal regulations are written, often using different methods to significantly rewrite and break down laws and regulations, making comparison very difficult for programs. If the existing program is used to compare internal and external regulations, many internal regulations cannot be effectively determined.

After research and testing, Lawsnote designed 3 AI algorithms and 4 rule-base algorithms for cross-comparison, which can establish article-to-article links between thousands of regulations and company internal regulations, helping compliance personnel to immediately determine the necessity of revisions to internal regulations when regulations are revised, significantly saving review time and reducing compliance and internal control risks.

C. Internal control and internal audit self-assessment process for compliance

In order to ensure that the compliance officer of business units properly carry out the compliance process, some companies will implement mechanisms such as compliance self-assessment and compliance education, and require the compliance officer of business units to conduct self-assessment of internal control and internal audit processes and review existing risks.

Compliance personnel or auditors must summarize self-assessment results, or prepare a risk matrix to monitor compliance risks and track vulnerabilities.

The Lawsnote RegTech compliance system supports expanded workflow solutions, which can extend the workflow to the compliance self-assessment process, customize the integration of the current system and compliance system, and merge the organizational structure and SSO permission control mechanism to create a one-stop compliance system.

Massive Digital Engineering AOI Intelligent Robotic Arm Inspection System Significantly Improves Defect Detection Accuracy

Taiwan is known as a manufacturing powerhouse, yet quality defect detection has always been a chronic sore point in production lines While AOI equipment is available to assist, most use fixed machinery which are limited by angles, resulting in less precise diagnostics and high false positive rates Massive Digital Engineering introduced an AOI intelligent robotic arm detection system that effectively reduces false positives and increases the accuracy of defect detection Generally, the yield rate of products affects the costs for enterprises and the return rate for customers The quality defect detection process in the manufacturing industry often necessitates a substantial amount of quality inspection labor Although there is AOI equipment to assist, these tools are mostly fixed detection machines Fixed cameras are easily limited by angles, resulting in less precise diagnostics and high false positive rates Thus, personnel need to re-screen and inspect afterwards, often manually visual inspection misses defects on average about 5, and can be as high as 20 Three major pain points in manufacturing quality detection Robotic Arm AOI with dynamic multi-angle inspection helps to solve these issues According to the practical understanding by Massive Digital Engineering, there are three main pain points in detecting product quality within the manufacturing industry Pain point one, manual inspection of product quality is prone to errors Currently, the manufacturing industry largely relies on human labor to inspect product appearance, but human judgment often entails errors, such as surface scratches, color differences, solder appearance, etc The error rate in defect judgment is high, and can only be inspected at the finished product stage, often leading to whole batch rejections and high costs in labor and production Pain point two, inability to quantify and record data from quality inspections Traditional manual inspections do not maintain inspection data, which makes it difficult to assign responsibility when quality disputes occur Moreover, high-end contract manufacturing orders from overseas brands often require traceability and corresponding defect records, which traditional human inspection methods struggle to meet Pain point three, limitations of traditional AOI visual inspection systems Current manufacturing uses AOI visual inspection systems, which due to the limitations of visual software technology, employ fixed cameras, fixed lighting, and single-angle operations This method may handle flat or linear-shaped products like rectangular or square items at a single inspection point However, it is more challenging to implement for products with complex shapes eg, irregular automotive parts, requiring multi-point and multi-degree inspections Massive Digital Engineering developed an AOI intelligent robotic arm detection system, effectively improving the accuracy of defect detection To address the pain points in quality inspection in manufacturing, Massive Digital Engineering initiated the concept of developing a multi-angle, movable inspection device, starting with the combination of two representative technologies in factory automation - robotic arms and machine vision By integrating robotic arms with AOI for dynamic multi-angle AI real-time quality inspection, the limitations of fixed inspection systems are addressed, and visual inspection techniques are enhanced by leveraging artificial intelligence, further elevating the sampling of images from flat to multi-dimensional and multi-angular Selected the automotive industry as the real-world testing ground to quickly respond to customer needs The AOI intelligent robotic arm detection system, utilizing AI technology including unsupervised learning, supervised learning, and semi-supervised learning, allows operators to use unsupervised deep learning techniques to learn about good products even when initial samples are incomplete or there are no defective samples, applying it in the visual inspection of automatic welding of car trusses This can solve issues of limited angles with fixed machinery before implementation, less precise diagnostics, and high false positive rates Automotive components are high in unit price and demand a stricter defect detection accuracy In industries that have adopted AI services, the automotive manufacturing sector was chosen as the real-world testing ground Massive Digital Engineering states that the automotive industry mainly consists of related component manufacturers and components typically have a higher unit price, hence requiring more in terms of quality inspection and yield rates, and demanding stricter accuracy Therefore, the automotive sector was chosen as the area for introduction By using a robotic arm combined with AI for dynamic multi-angle AOI visual real-time quality inspection, not only can the defect quality error rate of automotive components be improved, but the fixed-point AOI optical inspection can be enhanced to meet the measurement needs of most industries and finally, establishing a third-party system platform to build an integrated monitoring system platform, enabling immediate response and action when issues arise This system allows for recording and storing important data of products leaving the factory, serving as a basis for future digital production lines and virtual production At the same time, in the event of defects, it can immediately connect to Massive's MES monitoring system, quickly responding to the relevant manufacturing decision-making department, subsequently utilizing ERP systems for project management and reviews, effectively improving production efficiency and reducing production costs Helps to reduce communication costs and aims to become an industry standard In terms of industry integration, it provides a foundational standard for data continuity among upstream and downstream businesses, reducing communication costs within the supply chain Through certification of the contract manufacturers and brand owners, there is a chance to become the industry standard configuration Through the data database established by this project, operators can further optimize their supply chain management solutions using big data analysis Data Analysis, based on data, establish forecast planning, and utilizing technology to link upstream and downstream data of the supply chain, accurately controlling product quality In the future, when interfacing with European, American, and Japanese markets, which demand highly fine-tuned orders, operators can respond and integrate the industry supply chain Supply Chain more swiftly Ultimately, through the benchmark demonstration industry's field verification, such as with the automotive component manufacturing industry used as the benchmark demonstration field, by implementing the robotic arm combined with AI for dynamic multi-angle AOI visual real-time quality inspection system project, the supply chain connection between automotive contract manufacturers and OEMs can be optimized, becoming the industry standard Further seeking more AI teams to join the cross-industry development on the field collaboration platform, driving the overall ecosystem combining AI innovation with field application Self-driving vehicle developed by Massive Digital Engineering「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date：2024-05-19」

AI Assists the Red Cross for Smarter Emergency Response

More Preparation Less Loss The Taiwan Food Bank Association, a non-profit organization, collects donations daily from wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers, and even kind-hearted individuals across Taiwan They also rescue consumable materials that are about to be discarded, properly allocate and deliver to households in need, aiding local underprivileged populations When natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, typhoons, floods, and droughts occur in Taiwan, the food bank's resources can be immediately deployed for disaster relief This field verification unit is the Nantou County Red Cross AssociationOne of the food bank locations, hereinafter referred to as the Nantou Red CrossIs responsible for tasks like pre-disaster supplies preparation and disaster relief material distribution, helping the government bear the responsibility of disaster relief and aid In Taiwan, various natural disasters have characteristics of different duration and spatial coverage, wide or narrow With the normalization of extreme weather, the scale and number of disasters are gradually increasing and becoming harder to predict The required amount and type of materials differ by disaster, and they must address the lifestyles of the affected areas, rescue needs, traffic conditions, geographical restrictions, and other factors for varied material allocation, facing numerous challenges Typhoon Kanu severely damaged transportation in Nantou mountain areas Nantou County Red Cross planned the mountainous route Puli gt Fazhi Elementary School gt Qin'ai Village gt Aowanda to deliver supplies Disasters happen repeatedly We need to be prepared at all times Effective disaster preparedness can mitigate the impact, including swift response to material needs in affected areas, aid distribution, and even psychological support, providing added security for life and property of those in disaster zones Lack of Timeliness in Disaster Information To improve the living conditions and address the lack of supplies in remote areas, the Taiwan Food Bank Association has partnered with the Nantou Red Cross and has successively established food bank points in Nantou City, Puli, and Ren'aiLixing, Ruiyan, XinyiWangmei, Tongfu, Shuili, Lugu and Caotun among others9establish food bank locations, providing supplies worth a certain amount per household every month6001000in New Taiwan Dollars However, many challenges still need to be overcome during natural disasters For example, when typhoons, earthquakes, and landslides occur, the information source for disaster relief dispatch systems relies on post-disaster reports The time lag between reporting, response, and execution prevents timely adjustment and distribution of 'disaster relief' supplies based on the needs of affected areas, affecting rescue efficiency due to lack of timely information The 'preparedness' supplies of the Nantou Red Crosssuch as dry food, water, instant noodles, etc,are recorded manually in terms of stock, expiration dates, and distribution,When a disaster occurs, there is a chance that 'preparedness' supplies have expired and cannot become 'disaster relief' supplies It’s also possible that both conditions mentioned above occur simultaneously, leading to a need for more time to reassign 'preparedness' supplies into usable 'disaster relief' materials On the other hand, upon receiving information about shortages in disaster areas, the supplies donated by the public often grossly differ from the actual needs of the disaster zone, leading to an excess of supplies The Process of Material Operations Before and After a Natural Disaster AIAnticipating Natural Disasters Reinforcing the Accuracy of Preparedness Material Dispatch Application API Technology connects to compute the state of the climate, the intensity of disaster rescues, prioritizing the main tasks of the Nantou Red Cross and the needed areas of search and rescue Coordinated with the existing heavy rain and typhoon simulation disaster training of the Nantou Red Cross, a 'Natural Disaster Emergency Preparedness Material Dispatch and Supplement Decision System' is establishedreferred to as the Emergency Preparedness Material System。 In material management, inventory data along with immediate supply data are entered into the Emergency Preparedness Material System for comparison and analysis, helping the Nantou Red Cross quickly recognize materials like cookiesdry food, beverages, frozen food, toilet paper, etc, and determining whether they should be 'preparedness' materials or regularly distributed materials Adding to this, information forecasting understands the potential disaster conditions in remote areas, facilitating food delivery, addressing both front-end food wastage and backend practical needs When a natural disaster occurs, it enables faster response and decision-making, completing material deployment, hence increasing the speed of material operation transition20。 AI Emergency Preparedness Material System Helps Rapidly Adapt Material Distribution Through the field verification of the Nantou Red CrossAIthe system, material management, and related applications are promoted to more emergency response organizations in different areas, while continuously improving the alert functions within the Emergency Preparedness Material System, strengthening the technological foundation for alerts, enhancing prediction accuracySystem immediacy, and optimizing the data collection and analysis process Simultaneously, it can collaborate with government agencies, meteorological departments, or other rescue teams to discuss integrating more data sources, establishing a mechanism to share resources and data promptly, sharing information in real-time, helping more emergency response organizations enhance their disaster response abilities, seizing the golden rescue time 「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation
