About the Asia Pacific Centre for Regulatory Strategy (ACRS)

As financial service industry (FSI) regulators and legislators respond to the unpredictable global economic, business, and geo-political landscape — as well as the introduction of new technologies and digital platforms — they will continue to reshape today’s operating frameworks, creating a growing list of challenges for many firms operating in the region. 

Through regular dialogue with regulatory bodies, financial institutions, trade associations, and other key stakeholders, the Centre helps Deloitte’s clients stay ahead of evolving regulatory trends and advises clients and internal stakeholders on the holistic strategic impact of forthcoming regulation. With regional hubs in the Americas, Asia Pacific and EMEA, the Centre combines the strength of Deloitte’s network of experienced risk, regulatory, and industry professionals — including a deep roster of former regulators, industry specialists, and business advisers — with a rich understanding of the impact of regulations on business models and strategy.
