Documented cause
RegGT built SIB and SAT compliance automation for Guatemalan financial institutions. 17 of 19 supervised banks used Big Four audit firm compliance tools. The 2 remaining banks had limited budgets. The company could not generate sufficient revenue from a 2-client addressable market.
Lesson
“RegTech in Guatemala must target IGSS (social security) and municipal government compliance — both have regulatory requirements and are outside the Big Four audit ecosystem.”
