Wolters Kluwer FRR triumphs in HKMA and Waters Technology awards for excellence and innovation

HKMA, meanwhile, received more than 85 submissions from 15 jurisdictions in its Global RegTech Challenge with Wolters Kluwer FRR winning two of the four titles on offer in the award program. The competition was designed by the regulator “to raise the Hong Kong banking industry’s awareness of the potential of RegTech adoption.” Wolters Kluwer FRR won the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) category, “demonstrating to the judging panel how its exisiting technology can be used to optimise regulatory compliance of all internal and external obligations”. The compay also won the Risk Management category, evidencing “how its multi-award winning risk technology can be used to enhance the delivery of stress testing requirements driven by needs across different risk, compliance and business unit teams.”
