Risk Management & Compliance

In the areas of Internal Control and Compliance, we support our clients by setting up an appropriate Internal Control framework with a challenging Risk Management role. Our experts have a profound knowledge of evolving regulatory requirements and a thorough understanding of each regulation’s underlying activity, processes and instruments such as:

• Setting up a risk-sensitive internal control framework
• Putting in place regulatory guidelines on sound outsourcing practices
• Optimizing the internal control framework around the Solvency II and Basel III frameworks

We build bridges between different internal control stakeholders to strengthen the Internal Control role of the Compliance department. We help our clients to gradually move towards common internal control methodologies and metrics.

Besides that, our experts can be deployed to embed regulatory changes (a.o. KYC, AML, MIFID2, GDPR, PSD2, BRRD, ...) in different areas. These include gap analysis, priority setting, documentation, redesign of processes, training programs and the creation of synergies with other Internal Control projects.

We also support Chief Risk Officers with the implementation of an agile operating model for the Risk Management function so that the second line of defense can remain proactive, efficient and effective after the redesign of operational processes in lending or funding. We address supervisory concerns about the challenging role of the Risk Management function and its transformation from an operational to a more analytical function. We provide assistance in streamlining and issuing Risk Reports that matter.
