Thomson Reuters Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) announced the launch of Accelus Compliance Manager, a single platform that allows firms to track, monitor and understand regulatory changes and connect them to their internal compliance process and workflow.

Thomson Reuters Accelus Compliance Manager was designed to connect the five key stages of compliance identified by Thomson Reuters GRC:

Understand, evaluate and map regulatory risk;

Identify, monitor and track regulatory change;

Define and communicate controls;

Monitor, test and audit controls; and

Evidence risk controls to management and regulators.

The resulting solution provides information from more than 230 regulators and exchanges around the world, and can be deployed within an organization to manage the lifecycle of the compliance process, from the notification of a new regulation, through responding to regulatory audits.

The launch of Accelus Compliance Manager comes on the heels of a recent Thomson Reuters survey of more than 500 compliance professionals globally who report they are often struggling to keep up with the growing demands of global regulation. Accelus Compliance Manager was developed to address this challenge in association with some of the world's most heavily regulated organizations.
