Built for How Your Industry Actually Works
Corporate Governance & BSE Compliance
The Botswana Corporate Governance Code and BSE listing requirements mandate governance standards including board independence, committee structures, risk oversight, and governance disclosures.
- Dimeri maps every risk in your register to the relevant governance principle, tracks the status of each governance outcome, and generates disclosure reports aligned to BSE expectations.
- Board members and governance committee chairs can see at a glance which governance principles are fully addressed, which have gaps, and what remediation actions are underway.
Data Protection Act 2024 Compliance
DPA 2024 compliance requires mandatory DPO appointments, Data Protection Impact Assessments for high-risk processing, 72-hour breach notification, documented records of processing activities, lawful basis for all processing, children's data protections, and cross-border transfer compliance.
- Dimeri creates a structured DPA 2024 compliance register that links every processing activity to its lawful basis, tracks DPO responsibilities and DPIA documentation, manages breach notification workflows within the 72-hour window, monitors cross-border transfer mechanisms, and maintains a complete audit trail.
- With penalties reaching BWP 50 million or 4% of global turnover, having demonstrable compliance evidence is essential.
Bank of Botswana Prudential Compliance
The Bank of Botswana requires banking institutions to maintain capital adequacy above prescribed ratios, implement credit classification and provisioning standards, and maintain enterprise risk management frameworks.
- Dimeri provides a structured risk register that maps directly to Bank of Botswana prudential categories, tracks capital adequacy metrics, monitors credit risk concentrations, and generates reports in the format expected by Bank of Botswana supervisory teams.
- The Financial Stability Council's coordinated oversight approach means consistent risk documentation is essential across all regulated activities.
NBFIRA Governance & Non-Bank Compliance
NBFIRA's Corporate Governance Rules require non-bank financial institutions to maintain appropriate board structures, establish remuneration committees, and demonstrate governance effectiveness.
- For financial groups operating across banking and non-bank sectors, governance requirements must be satisfied at both entity and group level.
- Dimeri tracks every NBFIRA governance obligation, monitors compliance across board composition, committee effectiveness, and governance standards, and generates reports aligned to NBFIRA supervisory expectations.

Control & Incident Tracking
Three Lines of Defence — Tracked and Tested
Every risk in your register links to preventive, detective, and corrective controls. Effectiveness percentages update as evidence is logged. Full audit trail for regulators.
Multi-Regulator Obligation Mapping
Every applicable Botswana regulation — Corporate Governance Code principles, DPA 2024 requirements, Bank of Botswana prudential standards, NBFIRA governance rules, and BSE listing requirements — is mapped to the specific risks and controls in your register. When a new regulatory directive, Commissioner guidance, or BSE rule change is published, Dimeri identifies which existing risks are affected and flags any gaps in your control coverage. Obligation owners receive automated reminders before compliance deadlines, including DPA 2024 registration and DPIA review dates.
Regulatory Compliance Scorecard
A single-screen traffic-light scorecard shows your compliance status against every governance principle, DPA 2024 requirement, Bank of Botswana obligation, and NBFIRA governance rule. Each item is rated green, amber, or red based on current evidence and control effectiveness, with trend arrows showing whether compliance is improving or deteriorating. The scorecard updates automatically as assurance activities are completed and evidence is uploaded, providing the Financial Stability Council-level oversight visibility that coordinated regulators expect.
Remediation Workflow & Board Reporting
When a governance gap, DPA 2024 breach, or regulatory finding is identified, Dimeri creates a structured remediation workflow with assigned owners, due dates, and evidence requirements. Progress is tracked through to closure with a full audit trail. Board and committee reports are generated automatically from current data — showing risk profile changes, remediation progress, DPA 2024 compliance status, and multi-regulator obligations in the format expected by Botswana boards, the BSE, and regulatory supervisors.

Why Spreadsheets Fail in This Industry
Spreadsheets cannot handle the complexity, volume, and real-time demands of modern industrial risk management. Here is where they consistently break down — and what Dimeri does instead.
