Our financial services regulatory team design a governance framework that covers strategy, resource allocation, reporting channels, independence between first and second line of defence, compliance intelligence and readiness for change.
We develop a framework by including drafting and implementing all of your compliance and financial crime manuals, policies and procedures, as well as designing training programmes to staff across all seniority.
As your business grows, it’s essential that you have the parameters in place to manage risk.
