# Regulatory assessment for a regulatory alert

Utilize the Smart Assessment Engine to perform smart assessments on regulatory alerts. This ability enhances regulatory decision-making by enabling impact assessments directly at the regulatory alert level, streamlining processes through a unified core assessment framework, and assigning analysis to multiple stakeholders for improved collaboration and efficiency.

When you initiate an assessment to assess the impact of a regulatory alert, you get an option select either to start a regulatory assessment or the classic risk assessment. Regulatory assessment utilizes the Smart Assessment Engine application and when it is initiated, a new related list called **Regulatory assessments** is available on a regulatory alert that displays the list of uniquely generated regulatory assessments. The assessor can access the assessment from the unified **Tasks** page on the Employee Center. The unified **Tasks** page provides you a consolidated view of all your tasks, including all assessments, enabling you to access and complete them efficiently. For more information on how to perform a regulatory assessment, refer to [Respond to a regulatory assessment](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/governance-risk-compliance/regulatory-change-management-service-portal/respond-to-a-regulatory-assessment.md).
