Global | Publication | November 2018
Since the global financial crisis, there has been an ever-increasing focus globally on holding those in senior positions within regulated financial institutions accountable for their actions. This phenomenon has forced firms to adapt and prepare their practice for the implementation of new and more scrupulous obligations.
Our Individual accountability hub has been created on the NRF Institute to provide a comprehensive understanding of the new expectations for anyone preparing for, and needing to comply with, individual accountability obligations across the globe.
Also available via the hub is our SMCR Toolkit, a subscription-only, cost-effective service providing access to all of the key documents that firms need to implement the regime within their business.
To request access to ‘Individual accountability hub,’ please register to join NRF Institute.
Registration indicates acceptance of the terms and conditions which include important information about how our product will be delivered.
Members of NRF Institute can access a range of premium content including knowledge hubs and cross-border guides.

On February 2, 2024, the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union confirmed that the Committee of Permanent Representatives had signed the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Regulation, referred to as the AI Act. Approval by the EU Parliament followed on 13 March 2024, and the AI Act is likely to appear in the EU’s Official Journal around May 2024. The AI Act aims to establish a stringent legal framework governing the development, marketing, and utilisation of artificial intelligence within the region, thereby marking a significant advancement in the regulation of this burgeoning domain.

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation, commonly referred to as the AI Act, is expected to come into force during the summer of 2024 (the AI Act). The AI Act will be the first comprehensive legal framework for the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI), and is intended to ensure that AI systems developed and used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly.
