What it is
A service that follows changes in the rules for you. New laws, regulations and regulator decisions appear all the time, in many countries. Most do not affect you. Radar keeps a short profile of your business (the countries you operate in, your sectors, and what you do there) and only tells you about the changes that match it. Each change is checked by a practitioner first, and comes with what it changes for you and who should deal with it.
When to use it
When your business operates in more than one country and nobody has time to read every change. Also when you are in a sector where rules move quickly, when you have been surprised by a change you did not know about, or when you want a regular, reliable view for your board.
How to use it
Tell us about your business through the request form. Then sign in to My WLA and set your footprint profile: countries, sectors, operations, how many alerts you want, and how often you want a board summary. From then on, when a reviewed change matches your profile, it appears in your Radar and we e-mail you.
What you gain
You hear about the changes that affect you and not the rest. Each one comes with what it means for your business and who should own it, so it does not sit unread. You can see what has been dealt with and what has not, and escalate to your board when needed.
THE SITUATIONA company has staff and customers in Poland and India, and sells software. It has one legal team and no time to follow regulators in every country.
WITHOUT RADARThe team reads general newsletters and hears about changes late or by chance. A change that matters to the company's data handling in one of its countries is noticed only when a customer asks about it.
WITH RADARThe company sets its profile once. When a reviewed change touches its countries and sector, an item appears in its Radar with what it changes for the company and the person who should own it. The legal team deals with the item, marks it done, and escalates serious ones to the board.
