According to our research, UK government regulators have ample opportunities to benefit from utilising regulatory technology.

Some are on the journey to adopting RegTech to improve the quality of services to the public, minimise the burden on regulated entities, digitise manual processes and support compliance. Others are blocked by IT funding and capacity, limited awareness of market offerings, and industry and organisational silos.

This report provides the regulatory community with a snapshot of how technology is currently being deployed within government regulators.

• Part I outlines 6 key insights into the adoption of regulatory technology across UK government, and the vast opportunity for innovation that exists.
