Machine-Assisted Capacity Building Tool for Standards Implementation (‘MASI’) in collaboration with Cambridge University (Online)
IOSCO, in collaboration with Cambridge University, developed a Machine-Assisted Capacity Building Tool for Standards Implementation (‘MASI’). This online platform is a technology-driven capacity-building tool intended to support self-assessments against the IOSCO Principles and to facilitate comparisons with other regulatory frameworks. It is best suited to the needs of policy analysis and regulatory comparison. It should however not be regarded as an assessment tool for central evaluation of standards implementation. Following an initial phase targeting members from growth and emerging markets, MASI has now been launched on a complimentary basis for all IOSCO ordinary and associate members.
