Regulatory due diligence

Regulatory due diligence clarifies how and to what extent a business is directly or indirectly exposed to the evolutions of the regulatory framework.

Regulatory framework analysis

• Analyze the broader regulation agenda highlighting the critical evolution that may drive growth or create risks
• Identify the potential regulatory evolutions in line with political constraints and/or the regulator’s own expectations
• Analyze the specific regulatory objectives and influence players’ positions: targeted interviews with market insiders
• Clarify the regulatory decision-making process

Targeted benchmark

• Sectorial benchmark within a relevant perimeter of markets, NRAs or conceding authorities
• Screening of best practices: cross-sector analysis, e.g. power, gas, rail, on-demand transport
• Focus on a specific regulation tool or practice: e.g. incentive regulation on costs, quality of service monitoring, revenue schemes and levels

Quantitative analysis of risks and upsides

• Quantify the most likely opportunities and risks: building of scenarios, sensitivity analyses
• Identify potential mitigation measures
