Our Expertise
Deep Understanding
Our services are rooted in an in-depth understanding of the regulatory landscape, having run compliance functions for regulated businesses and in the last 5 years providing support across various sectors.
Industry Focus
Our experience spans a range of financial services sectors, across both the licenced and DNFBP regimes.
Tailored Solutions
The Risk Based Approach requires a bespoke approach to compliance.
We tailor all our services to meet the specific needs of each client, to provide you with a framework which manages risk and balances your commercial reality.

Strong compliance drives good governance; both are key factors in helping organisations grow.
Integrating operational best practice and effectively managing risk leads to reduced friction both internally and in client interactions.

Compliance Assessments
We conduct evaluations of your existing policies, procedures, and practices to identify areas that may need improvement. Our thematic gap analysis ensures that you keep abreast of best practice guidance and provides actionable insights tailored to your organisation’s specific needs.
Policy Development
Effective policies and procedures are the foundation of a strong compliance program. Our policy and procedure development service focuses on creating frameworks that align regulatory compliance with the operational reality of your business.
Ongoing Monitoring
Our monitoring services ensure that you stay ahead of regulatory changes and compliance requirements. We can conduct regular audits, or spot check assessments and targetted reviews to identify potential gaps or areas of concern. By proactively monitoring your compliance status, we help you avoid costly penalties, reputational damage and business disruption.
Remediation Services
Whether you've identified gaps in your compliance program or faced regulatory challenges, we guide you through the remediation process, ensuring that your organisation meets all necessary requirements and strengthens its compliance framework for the future.
Regulatory Training
We work with each client to understand their training needs to develop training modules that are customised to the client's specific context. This ensures the training is relevant and aligned with the client's compliance program. We can cover:
- Compliance awareness training
- Regulatory updates and changes
- Board training
- Customised workshops

Elevate your governance structure with our Non-Executive Director (NED) service. The addition of a regulatory expert, with legal training, brings a critical eye to the boardroom, ensuring robust compliance oversight.
