Regulatory Reporting & Change Management

Produce your returns, and keep up with the rules that shape them

Regulated firms have to do two things at once: produce accurate regulatory returns from their programme, and keep pace with regulation that never stops changing. This programme composes regulatory reporting, regulatory change management and a regulatory knowledge base into one function, so returns are assembled from the same record the work was done on, and rule changes are captured, assessed and driven through to updated policies and controls.

The programme

What this programme is, and why it matters

A solution is a programme, not a single tool — the outcome a set of platform capabilities add up to when they run on one record.

How accountability is structured across the first line, risk and compliance, and independent assurance — the model the programme supports.

Reporting from the source, not a rebuild

Returns and reports are assembled from the same record where screening, cases, risk and controls were operated — so reporting is a view of the work, not a separate data-gathering project prone to transcription error.

Change, tracked from signal to control

The programme captures regulatory developments, assesses their impact on the firm's obligations, policies and controls, and drives the resulting changes to completion — so nothing falls between spotting a rule change and actually implementing it.

A living map of obligations

A regulatory knowledge base holds the firm's obligations and links them to the policies and controls that meet them, so when a rule changes, the firm can see exactly what it touches rather than guessing at the blast radius.

Accountability across the change

Impact assessments, decisions and implementation actions carry owners, deadlines and sign-off, so regulatory change is governed with the same discipline as the rest of the programme — and the response is evidenced.

The challenge

What makes this hard today

The operational realities this programme is designed to resolve.

Returns rebuilt by hand

Assembling reports by exporting and re-keying from multiple systems is slow and introduces exactly the errors a return must not carry.

Change spotted but not implemented

A rule change noticed in a newsletter that never becomes an updated policy or control is a gap waiting to be found in a review.

No map from rule to control

Without linked obligations, a firm cannot tell what a regulatory change actually affects, so impact assessment is guesswork.

Reporting divorced from the work

When the reporting system is separate from where the work happens, the return can drift from the underlying reality.

Change without accountability

Impact assessments and implementation actions tracked loosely lose owners and deadlines, so the response is partial and undocumented.

Work is triaged, escalated when it matters, and recorded either way — every path lands on the audit trail.

01

Map obligations

Capture the firm's obligations in the knowledge base and link them to the policies and controls that meet them.

02

Assemble returns

Build regulatory returns and reports from the same record the underlying work was operated on.

03

Capture change

Log regulatory developments and route them for impact assessment against the mapped obligations.

04

Assess & assign

Assess each change's impact on policies and controls, and assign implementation actions with owners and deadlines.

05

Implement & evidence

Drive changes through to updated policies and controls, with sign-off and the response evidenced in the audit trail.

Capabilities

What the programme gives you

The concrete capabilities the composed programme provides, end to end.

Regulatory reporting

Assemble returns and reports from the same record the work was operated on, exported in the formats your submission channels require.

Obligations knowledge base

Hold the firm's obligations and link each to the policies and controls that meet it, so coverage is visible.

Regulatory change capture

Log regulatory developments in one place and route them for structured impact assessment.

Impact assessment

Assess how a change affects obligations, policies and controls, using the mapped links to see exactly what it touches.

Change implementation

Assign and track implementation actions with owners and deadlines through to updated policies and controls.

Reporting & MI

Give management and the board a current view of reporting status and the pipeline of regulatory change.

The workflow

The end-to-end workflow

A defined process with clear ownership at every stage, captured against the record it belongs to.

Regulatory content sources
  • Ingests regulatory developments from the horizon-scanning or content feeds your deployment uses
Policy & controls
  • Links obligations to the policies and controls managed in the governance programme

Assurance

Security & reporting

Security & data handling

  • Reporting data, obligations and change records are encrypted in transit and at rest.
  • Access to reporting and change management is role-based.
  • Every return, impact assessment, change action and approval is written to an append-only audit trail.
  • Obligation-to-control mappings are versioned so the firm can show what coverage looked like at any point in time.
  • Data residency and retention are configurable to your obligations.

Reports & returns

  • Regulatory returns and report content in your required formats
  • Reporting status and submission-readiness reporting
  • Regulatory change pipeline and impact-assessment reporting
  • Obligation-to-control coverage reporting
  • Executive and board regulatory management information
The value

What your team gains

Accurate returns, less effort

Assembling reports from the source record removes re-keying and the errors it introduces.

No gap between rule and response

Change is tracked from the moment it is spotted through to an updated control, so nothing is left half-implemented.

Impact you can actually assess

Linked obligations show exactly what a rule change touches, turning impact assessment from guesswork into a scoped exercise.

An evidenced response

Owners, deadlines and sign-off across the change mean the firm can show how it responded, not just that it did.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Where does reporting data come from?

From the same record where the work was operated — screening, cases, risk and controls. Returns are a view of that work rather than a separate data-gathering exercise, which removes re-keying and the errors it causes.

Does OnyxOne submit returns to regulators?

No. The programme assembles returns and report content in the formats your submission channels require; your firm reviews, signs off and files them. OnyxOne is a technology vendor, not an obliged entity.

How does change management connect to the rest?

Obligations are linked to the policies and controls that meet them, so when a rule changes, the programme shows exactly what it affects and drives the update through to those policies and controls with owners and deadlines.

Does OnyxOne tell us what the regulations are?

It ingests regulatory developments from the content or horizon-scanning feeds your deployment uses and helps you assess and implement them. It does not provide legal or regulatory advice, and interpretation remains with your firm.

Are SOC 2 or ISO 27001 held?

Not yet. Both are on our roadmap; we will publish attestations in the Trust Center once they are held rather than claim them beforehand.
