      Accenture has won Regulatory Advisory Firm of the Year, Consultancy at the ninth annual Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence, presented at The St. Regis Hong Kong.

      HONG KONG, 5 November 2026 – Accenture has won Regulatory Advisory Firm of the Year, Consultancy at the ninth annual Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence, presented at The St. Regis Hong Kong. 

      Accenture was the consulting partner behind Singapore’s AI Risk Management Toolkit for the financial sector, working with the MindForge Consortium to develop it. Published in March 2026, the toolkit gives financial institutions detailed, practical guidance on putting AI risk management frameworks into action. 

      Accenture has been recognised in Regulation Asia's advisory awards in each of the past three years, in categories now consolidated into this award. 

      The award recognises the consultancy whose regulatory and risk advisory work across Asia-Pacific, spanning banking, financial crime, capital markets and digital assets, showed the greatest depth of expertise, client outcomes and thought leadership. Judges assessed firms on the depth and breadth of engagements, regulatory expertise across domains, measurable client outcomes, thought leadership and regional reach. 

      “Accenture has a strong regional practice, with a solid place in any policy conversation,” said a member of the independent judging panel. 

      “Policy work counts when it reaches practice. Accenture helped shape regulatory policy in the region and delivered it for the institutions that must apply it,” said Bradley Maclean, Chair of the Awards Committee, Regulation Asia.

      About the Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence 

      Now in their ninth year, the Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence recognise achievements advancing regulatory practice across Asia-Pacific. 

      The judging process involves an independent panel of senior industry practitioners and the Awards Committee. Entries are assessed against published, award-specific criteria covering Asia-Pacific relevance and material developments in the twelve months to 30 June 2026. Awards are granted against a defined standard rather than relative to other entries. 

      Judging decisions are independent of editorial and commercial operations. There is no entry, shortlisting or winner fee, and commercial relationships do not influence results.
