Regulatory Modules for Insurers
Custom regulatory content for Insurers
An Ethidex module is a set of digital documents that organizes your regulatory requirements in a framework tailored to your business structure. Canadian requirements are presented as plain language control objectives backed up by specific citations and links to full-text sources. Modules for insurers are updated quarterly to meet changing requirements with the assistance of McMillan LLP. International regulatory content can be managed and updated using the Ethidex background tables of our Compliance Office™ application.
