Document processing within the Compliance module

Explore regulations and work on requirements directly.

Document processing in T-NEX Compliance breaks regulations and internal policies down into individual clauses. Your team checks the extracted content against the original and derives requirements from it. The source remains linked throughout subsequent work.

A clause stays connected to its source.

From clause tree to source comparison: derive requirements from a regulation step by step.

In daily work

How are regulations and internal policies registered?

For compliance editors and business owners turning regulatory provisions into reviewable requirements.

Document processing in T-NEX Compliance starts with clear identification. A document receives a title, identifier, publisher, publication date and business area. It can be uploaded manually or obtained from a configured source.

Each edition is maintained as a separate version. Clauses and subsequent requirements refer to that version. Updating a document does not simply replace its earlier text; existing references remain associated with the previous edition.

Functions

How the application supports your team.

01

Distinguish document versions

A new edition receives its own version and associated clauses.

02

Review the clause tree

Sections and subsections are displayed in their hierarchy.

03

Compare with the original

The source view shows extracted content beside the document.

04

Approve requirements

Derived requirements carry source references and receive business review before assessment.

Overview

What does the editor check in the clause tree?

The clause tree represents document parts, sections and subsections. Source view places recognised clauses beside the original. Selecting a clause can lead to its corresponding location; zoom and page navigation support comparison.

Review covers completeness and hierarchy: is a section missing, have independent provisions been combined, and are tables or appendices represented usefully? These details determine whether the resulting requirement is precise enough for business review.

Overview

How do clauses become testable requirements?

Confirmed clauses are used to derive requirements with a rationale and expected control measure. Business owners check whether the source reference is correct and whether a document, record or other evidence could establish fulfilment.

Requirements that are too broad can be regenerated or supplemented manually. Priority, type, owner and framework mapping structure subsequent work. External regulations and internal policies follow comparable processing steps but retain their different roles as benchmark and evidence.

Overview

How are applicability and shared references handled?

A requirement can be mapped to a framework control. This makes requirements from different regulations that concern the same control area identifiable. List, regulation and framework views offer different perspectives on the same records.

Centrally maintained applicability attributes help tailor the working scope to the institution. Technical filtering does not replace a business decision. The rationale for treating a provision as inapplicable needs to remain understandable during later assessment.

Overview

What is handed over to compliance assessment?

The output is an approved requirements collection with document versions, source references, control measures and owners. It can be assessed against internal requirements in the Compliance module. Document processing supplies the structured foundation for that work.

For an initial run, we select a manageable regulation and a related internal policy. A business reference set helps identify missing clauses, incorrect mappings and overly broad requirements. The process is extended to further documents after that comparison.

The workflow

How we introduce the solution.

  1. 01

    Import a regulation and record its version.

  2. 02

    Check clauses against the original.

  3. 03

    Approve the confirmed clauses.

  4. 04

    Derive and review requirements for each document.

What needs to be agreed before use

This workflow is intended for regulations and internal control documents. It does not promise support for arbitrary invoices, identity documents or credit files.

FAQ

Questions about the solution

Which documents does this process focus on?

The described workflow covers text-based regulations and internal control documents, such as policies and procedures. Recognisable structure and numbering provide the basis of the clause tree.

Is this a general OCR or invoice-processing system?

Requirement extraction is part of T-NEX Compliance. Processing invoices, identity documents or credit files is planned as a separate use case.

Why display the original document?

It allows recognised clauses to be checked against the actual edition. Errors in numbering, section boundaries or tables could otherwise carry into derived requirements.

Can a requirement be added manually?

Yes. Requirements can be supplemented manually or regenerated. Source reference, expected control, priority and ownership are checked before approval.

What happens to an older document edition?

It remains available with its clauses and derived requirements. A new edition is registered as an additional version.

Why approve clauses before proceeding?

The next stage uses the confirmed clause collection. Approval of that document version is incomplete while clauses remain unapproved.
