Gaps between today’s capabilities and tomorrow’s expectations are widening.

Let us tell you more

Let us tell you more

What are the gaps?

Gap #1. Regulatory Reporting

Every firm is riddled with too much cost, too much risk and a lack of standards around regulatory reporting.

We’re fixing this…

Gap #2. Regtech Adoption

RegTech is still quite new & fragmented, with no common langauge.  RegTech’s value by 2025 is estimated at c$55bn!

Ecosystems + Standards are needed…

Gap #3. Culture

Culture is widely accepted to be the root of major conduct failings leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.

Purpose + People are key ‘trust’ gaps …

RegTech & Consulting

Our decades of business, regulatory, data + interpretation expertise is combined with technology to give regulators + firms tooling, to address their key pain points.

MIDEUM is a data-driven reporting solution that focuses on openness, collaboration, trust and simplicity

Collaboration

Our cross-jurisdiction ‘think-tank’ groups commenced Oct 2020, focusing on RegTech + other gaps. As a result, we have created an ecosystem working on:

1. ‘Industry Working Group – Regulatory Reporting’, 2. Regulatory Taxonomy + Ontology’ project with FINOS

Sarah Sinclair

Co-Founder & CEO

Our Co-Founder and CEO, Sarah, is a highly entrepreneurial, commercially astute and trusted senior change operator with over 20 years of diverse experience in the financial services sector spanning from banking (ex HSBC, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Nationwide Building Society Aldermore, HBOS) and investment management (ex Schroders and GAM) to insurance (Prudential UK, Legal & General and Beazley). With many years of helping individual firms, and observing ‘widening gaps’ between business need, regulation and technology, she felt compelled to convert this experience into a purpose-led business, with a mission set to achieve far greater impact.  A natural drive to listen and understand, with a strong sense of empathy, she quietly turns stones to find better, fairer ways, refusing to settle for ‘half-baked’.
