Reg Monitoring

The Reg Monitoring monthly briefing: an editor-written round-up of the most important financial services regulatory updates of one month, grouped by region (North America; UK and Europe; Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa), with a one-line overview per region and the deadlines in the 60 days after it was sent. Use for "what happened in regulation last month" or "catch me up", where a curated summary beats a raw search. Omit `month` for the latest issue. The response includes how to receive the briefing by email each month.

Coverage statistics for the regmonitoring.com regulatory corpus: how many updates are indexed, the date range they span, how many regulators and jurisdictions are represented, and how many records carry AI analysis, a deadline, a penalty amount or an urgency rating. Call this before making claims about what the corpus does or does not contain — most records have no penalty amount, so an empty enforcement result usually means the data is absent rather than that no enforcement occurred.

Every valid filter value with the number of records carrying it: jurisdiction and regulator codes with their full names, content types, topics, sectors, firm types, urgency levels and deadline types. CALL THIS FIRST if you are unsure of any filter value. Values are exact and case-sensitive — "uk" not "UK", "AML / Financial Crime" not "AML" — and a wrong value returns zero results rather than an error, which is indistinguishable from the data genuinely being empty.

Full detail for one regulatory update, by id or slug: the AI analysis (executive summary, what changed, who is affected, actions required, key dates, compliance impact, citations), any deadline, any enforcement penalty data, and related records. Call this after regmonitoring_search_updates when you need to judge what an update actually requires. Check the analysis `depth` field: "deep" means real structured analysis, "rationale" means only a short classification note. Set include_source_text to read the original document text.

Regulatory deadlines with dates: consultation response dates, compliance deadlines, and rule effective dates, filterable by date range, status, firm type, jurisdiction and regulator. This is the tool for "what is coming up for my firm" and for building a compliance calendar. Status is derived at query time, never stored, so it is always current; buckets do not overlap (within_90 excludes anything already within 30 days). Set high_confidence_only when the answer will be planned against.

Enforcement actions across regulators and jurisdictions, with structured penalty data where it has been parsed: entity penalised, amount, currency, breach categories, and whether the penalty is final. Use for "what has this regulator fined firms for", "has this firm been penalised", or precedent research on a breach type. IMPORTANT: only about a quarter of enforcement records have a parsed penalty amount — extraction requires full source text, which many records lack. Do NOT answer "what are the largest fines" from sort=largest_penalty alone: it ranks only the parsed subset. Check the `note` field, which reports how many actions were excluded. Amounts are never converted between currencies.

Search regulatory updates from financial regulators across 20 jurisdictions — news, enforcement actions, consultations, policy statements, guidance, final rules, speeches and warnings, from 2011 to today. Filter by regulator, jurisdiction, topic, sector, firm type, content type, urgency, importance and date. Use published_after to answer "what changed recently"; use significance_min (4+) to cut routine noise. Returns compact records with a canonical regmonitoring.com URL for each — cite it. Call regmonitoring_get_update for the full text and analysis of any single result.
