More InformationImplementation trumps regulation: The monitor shows: Most institutions are aware of the rules. The real challenge lies in consistently and demonstrably implementing them in daily operations.
Focus on Operational Resilience: Outsourcing structures, technology dependencies, and cyber risks are at the top of the FINMA agenda. Those who use external partners must be able to demonstrate their controllability.
AML and Sanctions under Scrutiny: FINMA's expectations for anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance continue to rise. Processes and documentation must be up to date.
From Compliance to Resilience: The monitor marks a shift: it is no longer just about formal regulatory compliance, but about true operational resilience. Institutions must not only know compliance requirements, but demonstrably be able to actively manage risks.
