  • Abstract

    Financial advisory institutions are faced with stringent regulatory requirements for accurate, client-specific disclosures but manual review processes are characterized by high operational costs, long onboarding times, inconsistent applicability determinations and increased compliance risk. To tackle these issues, this paper proposes a unified enterprise architecture for Disclosure Applicability Detection (DAD) that automates compliance decision making in RegTech environments. The layered architecture leverages Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert unstructured application forms to searchable text, intelligent content screening for extraction of critical regulatory and financial metrics and a metadata driven business rule engine to dynamically evaluate customer profile, product characteristics and jurisdictional policies. The system dynamically orchestrates disclosure recommendations in real-time within advisory workflows, instead of relying on static checklists. Centralized audit logging, exception management, and real-time reporting provide end-to-end transparency. Conceptual evaluations demonstrate that the proposed architecture greatly speeds up document processing, improves disclosure accuracy and enables rapid policy updates without code refactoring, providing a scalable template for modern financial compliance governance.
