# Regulatory assessment for a regulatory alert

Use 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. It also streamlines processes through a unified core assessment framework, and assignsanalysis to multiple stakeholders for improved collaboration and efficiency.

When you initiate an assessment on a regulatory alert, two options are available: a regulatory assessment or the classic risk assessment. Regulatory assessment uses the Smart Assessment Engine application. After it starts, a **Regulatory assessments** related list appears on the regulatory alert, displaying all uniquely generated regulatory assessments. Assessors can access assessments from the unified **Tasks** page on the Employee Center, which provides a consolidated view of all tasks. To perform a regulatory assessment, see [Respond to a regulatory assessment](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/governance-risk-compliance/regulatory-change-management-service-portal/respond-to-a-regulatory-assessment.md).
