You can use the sample watsonx.governance Regulatory Compliance Management (RCM) workflows as delivered or modify them to meet your requirements. They can also be used as templates and learning tools for your own workflows.

The sample workflows are enabled in fresh installations.

The Governance console includes sample workflows for processing Regulatory Events. The workflows can be modified without the need for development resources or coding. Workflows can be tailored to match your organization’s methodology for processing alerts published by regulatory agencies.
Regulatory Change Review Workflow

When a Regulatory Change record is created, this workflow starts. The user determines the applicability of the Regulatory Change record and determines the impact of the Regulatory Event. The user can also create and assign Regulatory Tasks to users within RCM for actions that need to be taken to respond to the Regulatory Event. When Regulatory Tasks are assigned to users, this workflow cannot close until all related Regulatory Tasks are complete.

Regulatory Task Workflow

When a Regulatory Task record is created, this workflow starts. The workflow alerts the owner of the Regulatory Task that a record was created and assigned to them. After the user completes the assignment that is provided in the Regulatory Task record, they click Task Completed. The workflow changes the status field to Completed and populates the date that the task was completed.

Regulator Interaction Workflow

This workflow guides the user through preparing for, and responding to, a regulator interaction, such as a meeting request, inquiry, or examination. A user creates a Regulator Interaction record and then can add documents to the record before manually initiating the workflow. The workflow is assigned to the user listed as Primary Internal Contact of the primary parent Regulator record, which is associated to the Regulator Interaction. Otherwise, the Owner field must be input for the workflow to initiate. The user identifies other users for collaboration, prepares a plan to respond to the regulator interaction, executes the plan, and waits for the outcome of the interaction before they close the workflow. The fields that are provided for each view within the workflow are tailored for the user based on the type of regulator interaction and the stage of the workflow.

RI Component Workflow

This workflow automatically initiates upon the creation of an RI Component record. Similar to the Regulator Interaction Workflow, the user prepares a plan to respond to the regulator, executes the plan, and waits for the outcome of the interaction with the regulator. The fields that are provided in each view within the workflow are tailored for the user based on the type of regulator interaction and the stage of the workflow.

RI Sub-Component Workflow

This workflow automatically initiates upon the creation of an RI Sub-Component record. Similar to the Regulator Interaction Workflow, the user prepares a plan to respond to the regulator, executes the plan, and waits for the outcome of the interaction with the regulator. The fields that are provided in each view within the workflow are tailored for the user based on the type of regulator interaction and the stage of the workflow.

Compliance Review Comment Workflow

This workflow automatically initiates upon the creation of a Compliance Review Comment record when a Reviewer is identified by the creator of the record. A workflow stage is assigned to the Reviewer to review the comment provided by the creator of the record. After the Reviewer enters the information in the Comment Response field, they can submit the response for the record creator’s review. The creator of the record can then close the workflow or request a follow-up review from the Reviewer.
