In today’s fast-paced financial world, managing insider lists has become a critical aspect of ensuring compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). The manual process of managing insider lists can be time-consuming, prone to human error, and challenging to maintain. This is where an automated solution like Logwise comes into play.

Insider list management is a crucial aspect of ensuring compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). Companies are required to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of individuals who have access to inside information, which can be a complex and time-consuming process. Failure to properly manage insider lists can result in significant penalties and reputational damage for companies.
Managing insider lists manually can be a daunting task, as it involves tracking and collecting data related to inside information and the individuals possessing it. This process is often carried out using spreadsheets, which can be prone to human error and difficult to maintain. Additionally, manual management of insider lists can result in IT security issues, confidentiality concerns, and difficulties in documenting information with timezone-independent timestamps.
