Internal Audit
Your challengesThe regulatory framework is constantly changing and grows in complexity. As a Management Company, you need to have:
• an appropriate management of risks, to anticipate coming challenges and tackle them accordingly,
• a complex delegation network and an oversight approach (i.e. due diligences and continuous monitoring) in line with regulatory requirements,
• an internal audit function that brings value to your business and gives comfort to your Management and Board, while maintaining a reasonable cost level.
Management Companies are struggling to identify and manage the risks they face in a highly competitive and changing environment. You need to maximise value and effectiveness and we’ll help you build a strategic internal audit function, to support you on the way to success.
