01 / THE CHALLENGE

A banking regulation cannot be operationalised through a policy document alone.

Financial regulation places demands on policies, processes, accountability and evidence. The practical challenge is aligning those demands with the way a bank is structured and operates.

02 / WHAT AKITA DID

Translating obligations into the bank’s operating model

  1. 01

    Translated the requirements of Israeli Banking Supervision Directive 364 into the bank's GRC processes.

  2. 02

    Aligned governance and implementation work with the bank's organisational structure and operating needs.

  3. 03

    Connected regulatory expectations to practical ownership and ongoing risk management.

03 / WHAT THIS WORK ENABLES
