The Institute of Regulation (IoR) board today released some new research ‘Good regulation – getting the best from UK regulation for the benefit of the UK economy and society’.
Based on the perceptions of over 150 regulatory professionals and experts, this research uncovered three shared opportunities to drive further improvement in UK regulation:
Supporting the conditions for agility and innovation in regulation.
Promoting consistency and coherence in legislative frameworks and regulatory mandates.
Building trust in regulation.
This new research report from the Institute of Regulation sets out three clear ways in which the UK regulatory system can respond to these shared opportunities:
UK regulators need to continue to innovate, moving forward and building a deep understanding of both the public and their interests, and the industries they regulate. Regulators need to continue to find new ways to minimise regulatory burdens, while promoting and securing the interests of those on whose behalf they regulate.
Government needs to continue to provide the right enabling support. Government sets the terms and conditions by which regulators regulate. Regulatory frameworks that are up-to-date and fit-for-purpose, and sufficient funding or the ability to raise proportionate fees are vital to high quality regulation.
Parliament, the Institute of Regulation and others can build growing trust in regulators and regulation. Mutual trust matters. Regulation and regulators are more effective and efficient in an environment of transparency, candour and mutual trust. We all need to work together to build trust in regulation.
The research also found a number of perceived areas of strength, of which UK regulators are proud, these include:
UK regulators have a deep understanding of the sectors they regulate and value the strong relationship with those sectors. This enables them to achieve high quality outcomes for users, consumers and industries.
UK regulators operate with the highest standards of integrity and ethics, drawing intelligently on evidence and research.
UK regulators are pragmatic, alert to emerging challenges such as AI and proactive in working together to meet them.
Chair of the Institute of Regulation, Marcial Boo, said:
‘Good regulation is important for the UK. It enables businesses to thrive and innovate and public services to be well run and improve. By creating a level playing field, preventing harm and unfairness with as few unnecessary constraints as possible, regulators not only protect consumers and service users, but enable responsible UK businesses to compete and grow without being undercut by unregulated cowboys. Good regulation is a public good from which everyone benefits.
Improving regulation is also a cost-effective way to stimulate economic growth and improve public services. Good regulatory regimes give business confidence that they can invest and build public trust in the goods and services they receive.
The Institute of Regulation, the sector's professional body, has drawn on the views of its members to set out what good regulation looks like: as few burdens as possible, a focus on improvement, proportionate interventions when necessary, and the public interest at its heart.
The Institute will continue to support the sector to improve, and, with its members, work with the incoming UK government to bring benefit to the economy and public services by helping regulators to make their regulatory regimes as efficient and effective as possible.’
Research lead, Will Taylor, said:
‘It’s been a great pleasure to undertake this research and to hear from such a broad range of impressive regulators in the UK. This paper draws together those insights into some key opportunities, but there is so much more to learn from each other. I’m looking forward to working with the Institute of Regulation to develop the conversation on how we can make the most of regulation in the UK.’
Researcher, Matthew Purves, said:
‘Carrying out this work, I’ve been struck by how much knowledge, strength and experience there is in the network of UK regulators that the Institute of Regulation draws together. We face many common challenges and opportunities. I am excited about how, working together, regulators can share solutions to problems, innovate and support UK growth.’

Recordsure is proud to launch its new AI meeting notes solution, which is available free of charge to all Recordsure clients. This new feature allows financial services firms to turn their client conversations into compliant, actionable summaries – all achievable 80% faster than traditional manual admin methods allow. To celebrate this milestone, Recordsure is also releasing open-source AI meeting code for Microsoft Azure OpenAI to everyone for free, levelling the GenAI meeting notes playing field.
The financial advice industry has been subject to intense scrutiny from clients and regulators, with firms under increased pressure to deliver advice with greater transparency.
Recordsure AI solutions play a major part in helping advice firms to record client conversations and evidence advice in a compliant manner – whilst providing tools to improve productivity and speed up client admin processes.
With Recordsure AI meeting notes, firms can now increase their operational efficiencies and create meeting summaries 80% faster, freeing up valuable time for advisers to spend with clients.
Recordsure AI meeting notes
The new, free Recordsure AI meeting notes solution significantly reduces the time advisers need to spend on admin tasks, increasing a firm's profitability without scaling up the team.
By eliminating the need to write notes in meetings, Recordsure AI reduces post-meeting admin tasks for the adviser and paraplanner. It seamlessly integrates with practice management systems and helps firms create well-structured, standardised meeting summaries with superior consistency and accuracy.
AI meeting notes must be validated by a human if used for decision-making and evidence
Since the introduction of GPT-based large language models (LLMs) two years ago, a significant number of AI-generated meeting note solutions have been introduced to the market, with various levels of output potential and ‘future’ capabilities.
If an advice firm wants to use AI-generated meeting notes for decision-making or as evidence, the meeting notes have to be validated by a human (an adviser or a paraplanner).
Yet many of the GenAI meeting notes solutions currently available leave advice firms with incomplete, inaccurate meeting summaries – and outputs unsuitable for use in client advice.
What’s more, firms are left out of pocket, while the current cost price to generate an industry-specific, topic-separated meeting note with the secure OpenAI GPT models hosted on Microsoft Azure, is only about 1.6p (GBP) or 2¢ (USD) per hour of transcript.
That’s why Recordsure is making AI meeting notes accessible to all for free.
Recordsure AI meeting notes, free to all clients
Recordsure AI meeting note generation is now included within Recordsure’s Capture solution for recording face-to-face and online conversations, bundled for free with conversation transcripts.
Clients that are using Recordsure’s more advanced ConversationAI tools get higher quality outputs and sophisticated solutions to efficiently verify meeting notes – turning client conversations into compliant, actionable summaries, suitable for decision-making – again, at no extra cost.
Recordsure’s ready-to-use AI technology is rapid to deploy and offers seamless integration with Practice Management Systems. Recordsure has over 12 years of experience with AI, established with advice firms, tier 1 banks and the UK government.
Open-source AI meeting code, free to all firms
Recordsure released its open-source AI meeting code for Microsoft Azure OpenAI to everyone, to allow firms to experiment with generating AI meeting summaries and explore the abilities and drawbacks of unvalidated GenAI meeting notes tools for free.
For full disclosure and transparency, the AI meeting generator code provided (as should any GPT-based AI meeting note products from any vendor) comes with the disclaimer that a human must verify the output before relying on its content for customer or advice action. This is in line with the Recordsure Responsible AI policy,the UK GDPR and the EU AI Act policies.
Recordsure’s open-source code for GPT-based AI meeting notes is available on Github(https://github.com/tccgroup/VTTMeetingNoteGenerator)

We are delighted to announce that The RegTech Association is proud to be a Community Partner at Point Zero Forum 2024! The Point Zero Forum is an initiative of Elevandi and the Swiss State Secretariat for International Finance to promote a policy and technology dialogue in Financial Services.
Held annually in Zurich, Switzerland, the Forum convenes central bankers, regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders to address the latest developments in financial technology and the future of finance.
London, Singapore: May 20 2024 - Encompass Corporation, the leader in Corporate Digital Identity (CDI), has appointed Nynke Postma, the founder and ex-CEO of Blacksmith KYC, to its leadership team to supercharge the impact global banks find with CDI.
As Head of Business Development for Asia and the Middle East, based in Singapore, Postma will work under the direction of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) Steve Hadaway to maximize the potential and value customers experience through Encompass' CDI product propositions.
Her appointment follows Encompass’ acquisitions of ING led innovations Blacksmith KYC and CoorpID earlier in the year, which bolstered its efforts to solve the critical challenge of identification and verification of corporate and institutional clients with CDI.
With more than 20 years of experience in financial services, Postma’s career to date has seen her hold a number of senior roles at ING, crossing areas including programme and product management, software delivery, and fraud management.
Before founding Blacksmith KYC in 2017, a move that saw her relocate to Singapore to build and lead the business’ team, Postma led a strategic merger of daily banking operations in ING’s core markets - the Netherlands and Belgium - impacting 11 million retail customers.
Established as part of ING Labs Singapore, Blacksmith KYC was founded with the aim of enhancing Know Your Customer (KYC) processes for the financial industry and allowing banks to configure their Customer Due Diligence (CDD) requirements within a Digital Policy Manager.
Streamlining the data collection process, this unique capability enhances the potential benefits for Encompass’ customers, making it easier for banks to turn their manual KYC policies into efficient automated processes to provide analysts with valuable risk insights from customer profiles.
Steve Hadaway, Chief Revenue Officer, Encompass Corporation, said: “I am thrilled to welcome Nynke as our new Head of Business Development, and excited to see her extensive industry background and knowledge bring significant benefits to our customer base. Her passion and vision for Blacksmith KYC led to great success, as she was the driving force behind the growth of a product that brings tangible efficiencies, with the next chapter of that journey only beginning at Encompass.
“We are committed to offering the very best, both in terms of innovation and expertise, as we move forward with our CDI mission, and bringing someone of Nynke’s calibre on board is another milestone that shows there is much to be positive about for the business and our customers in the months and years to come.”
Nynke Postma, Head of Business Development, Encompass Corporation, added: “I am excited and proud to be able to continue the Blacksmith story as part of Encompass. Having witnessed the possibilities of the platform and the value it holds for banks as we brought the product to life, I relish the chance to take it even further as part of the Encompass team, creating a diversified product portfolio and competitive offering tailored to our customers’ needs. At Encompass, we have all the ingredients to create game-changing outcomes with the delivery of CDI.”
About Encompass Corporation Encompass enables fast, accurate identity validation and verification of corporate customers and a gold-standard approach to KYC. Our award-winning corporate digital identity (CDI) platform incorporates real-time data and documents from authoritative global public data sources and private customer information to create and maintain digital risk profiles.
