OUR SERVICES

Regulatory gap assessments and implementation support

An assessment establishes the firm’s current position against the requirements in scope and sets out the work needed. It can cover a specific concern or a wider set of related obligations.

ASSESSMENT SCOPE

What the review involves

We agree the business activities, regulatory areas and records to be reviewed, together with the questions management needs answered. The work can include policies, control records, systems, responsibilities and reporting.

We discuss the findings with the relevant teams and distinguish gaps in the firm’s arrangements from gaps in the information provided. Any requirement for specialist advice is established during scoping.

DELIVERABLES

What your team receives

04

DELIVERY ARRANGEMENTS

Working with your team

Client involvement

We need a nominated lead, access to agreed records and time with the people responsible for the relevant processes and controls. The schedule is agreed before the engagement starts.

Lexa implementation and further support

The assessment can inform your Lexa implementation, including the records to migrate, responsibilities and review workflows to configure. Your team can also take the action plan forward independently. Further implementation or delivery support is scoped separately.

Professional responsibilities

The assessment supports management decisions. It is not a legal opinion, independent audit certification or guarantee of regulatory compliance. Specialist judgments and approvals remain with appropriately authorised people.
