Licence conditions and regulatory obligations

Drawn: EPRA, Kenya

In practice

A licensed operator answers to its regulator on a schedule: reliability and service standards, technical codes, approved tariffs and financial reporting, safety and environmental duties, customer service, and the conditions of the licence itself. Templates ship for energy and banking regulators in several jurisdictions; ask which ones cover yours.

The template

16 controls in 5 categories.

Each category as the catalogue holds it, with the controls it contains. Import the template and every control arrives with a status and an owner to assign.

How the Desk helps

The sector regulator programme, run on the Compliance Desk.

Each step below is shipped: the template import in Compliance Studio, and workflows that run over the documents you choose, record their sources and hold for approval before export.

The licence, as sources

Run Extract obligations over the licence, the regulations and the codes. The run records every source it read and holds for approval before it exports.

Controls and evidence against every condition

Each condition is a control with an owner, a status and its evidence in Compliance Studio; a control memo names the gaps. Prepare audit checklist runs over the documents you select and exports once approved.

Regulatory change, watched

Regulatory watch checks your sector's regulators for new publications and raises an alert with a summary and the source page. You acknowledge it, and the acknowledgement is recorded.

Next step

Start from the sector regulator template on your own files.

Bring the policies you have and the last audit's request list. We will import the template, run the workflows with you and hand back the controls, the evidence on file and each run's sources.
