Harnessing RegTech in Kenya: Streamlining Secretarial Compliance with Smart Automation
Company secretaries stand at the intersection of governance, legal compliance, and operational efficiency. Here’s how they can harness RegTech within their role:
Centralize Compliance Intelligence
Implement RegTech solutions that monitor requirements across authorities like CMA, CA, KRA, and ODPC.
Automate deadline tracking, filings, and internal alerts, reducing the risk of human error.
2. Ensure Data Accuracy and Security
Establish structured data governance: validated updates to statutory registers, resolutions, beneficial ownership, and registered office records.
This cleansed and secured data forms the backbone of reliable RegTech performance.
3. Automate Routine Filings and Documentation
Digitize common compliance processes, like annual return submissions or register updates.
Leverage RegTech tools to generate correct, timestamped documentation for audit and regulatory review.
4. Generate Real-Time Governance Dashboards
With RegTech, secretaries can produce live compliance summaries, highlighting outstanding filings, regulatory shifts, and time-sensitive risks.
These dashboards inform board-level strategy and regulatory responsiveness.
5. Enable Proactive Risk Management
Use anomaly detection tools - such insights support timely board disclosures and oversight.
