Compliance Gap Analysis without Pricey Billing Rates: Konfer Clear™ in Action

Financial institutions are under mounting pressure to comply with stringent regulations, such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). Traditional compliance gap analyses remain time-consuming and resource-intensive, often requiring extensive manual reviews. Engaging external consultants amplifies costs, straining budgets and unnecessarily prolonging timelines. These delays increase regulatory risks and leave organizations more vulnerable to operational disruptions.

The financial burden of these outdated compliance methods is significant. A 2023 report by Oxford Economics found that compliance costs rose by 12% in that year alone, impacting 95% of firms. Collectively, the sector now spends approximately £38.3 billion annually on compliance, a figure comparable to Estonia's GDP.

A survey conducted by Finextra highlighted high compliance costs as the top concern for 36% of financial services firms. Nearly half of the respondents anticipated dedicating 8-10% of their EBITDA to compliance in 2025, underscoring the significant financial impact of traditional methods.

Operational inefficiencies further drive up these costs. Many compliance departments depend on outdated tools, such as spreadsheets, which hinder streamlined reporting. This lack of modernization reduces real-time visibility and increases the risk of non-compliance.

In response, organizations are actively seeking efficient, cost-effective solutions to manage compliance demands while ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
