What is Regulatory Technology?

Helping Organizations Stay Compliant

RegTech is technology that helps financial organizations follow regulatory requirements more easily.

Instead of spending hours preparing reports, checking spreadsheets, and fixing mistakes, RegTech automates much of the work. It collects information, checks for errors, and prepares reports in the format regulators require.

This means organizations can spend less time on paperwork and more time serving customers and growing their business.

RegTech Solution

From raw data to filed report

Four stages replace the manual compliance grind with a continuous, auditable trail.

Tap a stage for details

Automatically pulls transactions, accounts, and records into a single, unified source of truth for the entire organization.

Flags unusual activity and potential risk in real time using AI-driven heuristics, preventing violations before they occur.

Instantly formats and maps submissions to specific regulatory schemas (XML, XBRL, CSV) for local and international authorities.

Every step, change, and approval is timestamped and cryptographically traceable for when the regulator arrives.

Two technologies. One closed loop.

Our platform combines two complementary technologies that support both sides of financial regulation. RegTech helps regulated institutions comply with reporting requirements, while SupTech enables regulators to monitor and supervise the financial sector more effectively.

RegTech

Helping Organizations Follow the Rules

RegTech (Regulatory Technology) helps banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions prepare regulatory reports, check their data, and submit information accurately.

Think of it as a smart assistant that helps organizations meet regulatory requirements with less manual work.

SupTech

Helping Regulators Supervise Better

SupTech (Supervisory Technology) helps regulators collect, review, and analyze information from financial institutions.

Instead of reviewing spreadsheets manually, regulators receive validated digital data that helps them detect risks earlier and make better decisions.

Think of it as a smarter way for regulators to oversee the financial system.

Together They Work Like This

Organizations report through RegTech. Regulators supervise through SupTech. One pipeline, two sides of the same trust chain.

RegTech +

Helping Organizations Follow the Rules

Automates regulatory reporting, validates data quality, and cuts manual work so institutions can submit accurate, on-time reports.

Think automated data checks before submission, built-in rule updates when regulation changes, and audit trails that make examinations faster on both sides.

SupTech +

Helping Regulators Supervise Better

Collects trusted data, flags emerging risks, and surfaces insights for faster, smarter supervision.

Think real-time dashboards across every institution, automated red-flag alerts, and analytics that turn thousands of reports into one clear risk picture.

One helps organizations report.

The other helps regulators supervise.

Together they create a more transparent, efficient, and reliable financial ecosystem.

Every source. One pipeline. Every report, on time.

Core banking, ERP and data warehouses flow into a single platform — where data is collected, validated, tagged and turned into the reports regulators require.

Built for Regulators. Built For Financial Sectors.

Why Ethiopia Needs Modern Regulatory Technology

Digital Ethiopia 2025, the National Bank of Ethiopia and ECMA’s reform agenda, the new Ethiopian Securities Exchange, and mandatory IFRS 17 and ESG disclosures for ESX-listed companies are all raising the bar for regulatory data — faster than most institutions’ current tools can keep up with.

Manual & Disconnected Processes.

Too Much Manual Work Many organizations still rely on spreadsheets, emails, and paper-based submissions across disconnected systems. This slows reporting, increases administrative effort, and makes collaboration difficult.

Challenges

Inconsistent & Low-Quality Data

Data You Can't Always Trust. Different reporting formats and limited validation lead to inconsistent data, making it difficult to compare information, identify trends, and produce reliable regulatory reports.

Challenges

Limited Visibility & Slow Supervision

Risks Are Found Too Late. When reporting is manual and periodic, regulators receive information after the fact. This delays risk detection and reduces the ability to respond proactively.

Challenges

Questions? Answers.

How does IRIS iFile fit into our existing IT environment?

iFile is built API-first with RESTful web services, designed for integration alongside existing systems — the same integration model used in deployments such as RBI’s and QCB’s centralised XBRL-based collection platforms.

Yes. Infrastructure — on-premise, private cloud or hybrid — is hosted and supported locally by 360Ground specifically to meet in-country data-sovereignty requirements.

Regulator engagements typically run 9–18 months, moving through Consult & Skill, Workshops, and Deploy & Migrate stages, reflecting government procurement cycles.

Project management is a joint 360Ground/IRIS responsibility, including coordination through government tender portals and formal procurement processes.

Taxonomy and standards development — architecture, business rules, and linkbase creation — is a distinct, scoped consulting service provided alongside the platform.

Yes — the enterprise track specifically includes ESG-readiness and IFRS 17/9 financial-reporting consulting alongside XBRL/iXBRL disclosure management.

Enterprise engagements typically run 3–6 months, and can be faster for scoped pilot/proof-of-concept programmes with internal CTO sign-off.

No. Our full-suite delivery combines advisory, software licensing, and managed services — so you are not required to manage the platform entirely in-house.

iFile and RISE are for regulators; enterprise disclosure tooling (ESG, IFRS) is for listed entities. We will confirm the exact mapping for your organisation on a discovery call.
