Key challenges in implementing the IAF

Implementing the new IAF presents several challenges. Firms often struggle with interpreting and implementing extensive regulatory requirements, and manual compliance processes involving repetitive data gathering and manual input are prone to human error.

Additionally, the absence of a single source of truth leads to inconsistencies across different systems like the Minimum Competency Code (MCC) register, HR system, and IAF records, while documentation stored in various formats often gets duplicated and is not repurposed effectively.

Finally, maintaining up-to-date and accurate records over time complicates the audit trail — especially when roles change.

PwC’s Accountable Compliance — your IAF RegTech solution

PwC has partnered with a RegTech provider to offer our IAF platform, Accountable Compliance. This platform serves all your IAF and SEAR needs in one place.
