CCB Compliance Technology & RegTech 4

Question 1

Which approach does SupTech (Supervisory Technology) represent from a regulator's perspective?

Accepted Answer

Technology used by regulators to supervise financial institutions more efficiently

Answer

SupTech refers to technology adopted by regulators and supervisory authorities to enhance their ability to monitor, analyze, and enforce compliance across regulated entities.

Question 2

A compliance officer must ensure third-party RegTech vendors meet the firm's data security standards. What document BEST formalizes these requirements?

Accepted Answer

A vendor due diligence questionnaire and contractual data processing agreement

Answer

A vendor due diligence questionnaire assesses security capabilities while a data processing agreement legally obligates the vendor to meet required security standards.

Question 3

What is 'model risk' in the context of RegTech compliance systems?

Accepted Answer

The risk that a model produces inaccurate outputs that lead to incorrect compliance decisions or missed violations

Answer

Model risk is the potential for adverse outcomes resulting from errors in model design, assumptions, data, or use that cause incorrect compliance decisions.

Question 4

Under SR 11-7, which US federal guidance governs the management of model risk at banks, what are the two key elements of effective model risk management?

Accepted Answer

Robust model development and validation, plus sound model governance

Answer

SR 11-7 requires effective model risk management through rigorous development and validation processes combined with strong governance policies and controls.

Question 5

Which scenario BEST illustrates the concept of 'compliance by design' using RegTech?

Accepted Answer

Embedding automated compliance controls and limits directly into a product's technology architecture from inception

Answer

Compliance by design integrates regulatory requirements into the technical architecture of a product or process from the start, preventing violations rather than detecting them later.
