Comprehensive Internal Control Support
We work with compliance and control functions to design and implement internal control frameworks adapted to your organisation’s size, complexity, and regulatory perimeter. This includes creating risk-based control plans, defining clear responsibilities across the three lines of defence, and formalising internal procedures that support day-to-day operational compliance. Our approach ensures that internal controls are not only compliant on paper but also effective in practice, helping you to identify weaknesses early, remediate them efficiently, and document your actions for regulators and auditors.

Audit & Regulatory Readiness
We assist with the preparation and execution of internal audit programs, whether for thematic reviews, full-scope audits, or targeted assignments. Our team can conduct independent audits, co-source with your internal audit function, or provide temporary reinforcement during peak periods. We also help you prepare for ACPR/AMF inspections by reviewing existing documentation, assessing control effectiveness, and advising on remediation measures. Annual internal control reports and regulatory self-assessments can be developed or reviewed to ensure full compliance.
