Changing Regulatory Landscape

Gershon

In July 2004 the Gershon efficiency report set the scene for the civil service efficiency drive; to achieve 2.5% savings every year from 2004 to 2008, 20000 less civil servants by 2010. Yet more demands are still being made on the same resources.

Do the same with less...

regulys uses workflow and task automation to release staff. Where the task is simple, let the computer do it – simple permits can be issued automatically, complex tasks routed to the right staff and workloads monitored. The staff are “released to the front line”.

Better Regulation...

The Better Regulation Commission five principles of good regulation require joined-up regulatory processes and improved reporting. regulys business intelligence and linked data allows transparency and consistency.
regulys business process models allow the real impact of new regulations to be assessed, aiding the establishment of Regulatory Impact Assessments.

Hampton

In March 2005, the Hampton Review set out the treasury agenda for reducing administrative burdens on business whilst improving regulatory outcomes.

Risk Based Regulation

Assessing risks associated with an application, or to drive
inspections, as called for by Hampton is achieved in regulys by:

A rules engine that allows complex rules to be passed over multiple datasets to assess risk
Using an electronic permit to link datasets associated with a permission; inspections, monitoring data, associations and the like.
