Machine-Assisted Capacity Building Tool for Standards Implementation (‘MASI’) in collaboration with Cambridge University
IOSCO, in collaboration with Cambridge University, developed a Machine-Assisted Capacity Building Tool for Standards Implementation (‘MASI’).

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.
