  • Keeping track of rule changes: Having access to current and future versions of Handbook content may help firms to track, compare and flag rule updates so that they can respond more quickly.
  • Better RegTech products: Give providers authoritative Handbook data to build more efficient and consistent compliance tools.
  • Supporting AI solutions: Provide trusted, up-to-date data to support more useful, accurate and transparent AI tools.
