How technology is enabling Government to be Risk-Based Regulators

Regulators in Australia and New Zealand are actively exploring the shift to a risk-based approach. With risks constantly evolving, the right risk-based approach will play a critical role in ensuring a timely, prompt and appropriate regulatory response towards identified and emerging risks.

The Driving Risk-Based Regulation digital conference will bring together regulatory professionals, experts, and best practice case studies from a wide range of jurisdictions across Australia and New Zealand and the UK, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of risk-based regulation.

Objective are the exclusive sponsor for this two-day digital event. As a RegTech vendor who deliver software that enables risk-based regulation, we help government agencies gain the benefits of this technology and deliver improved outcomes for communities. We want to further contribute to accelerating risk-based regulation in Australia and New Zealand and are well-aligned with the goals of The Hatchery and this conference.

• HEAR a range of case studies on how regulators have effectively leveraged data to identify risks and compliance.
• LEARN how to use your resources effectively by identifying the high-risk operators through data sharing and collaboration.
• EXAMINE the importance of relationship building and collaboration with industry while avoiding regulatory capture.
