Governance is at the top of the agenda for regulators. Financial institutions are increasingly required to demonstrate they are properly organized, by the right people, within a culture that promotes accountability.
This involves taking a holistic view of a firm's governance structure — from the board, to senior management, to control functions and operational teams. It involves understanding what systems and controls the firm needs to operate effectively and safely — including where functions are outsourced. We can advise you on both the structures you need and how the regulator is likely to view them.
