Ascent
Regulatory horizon scanning and applicable-obligation mapping
Ascent, now branded AscentAI, monitors regulatory sources across many jurisdictions, determines which obligations apply to a specific firm and pushes changes into governance and control systems. Its client base centres on banks, lenders, broker-dealers and fintechs, and it has been owned by Edgewater Equity Partners since 2024.
