LEADING EXPERTISE
We have an extensive track record of helping firms to successfully achieve and maintain FC compliance
A health check refers to a high-level review of the design of a framework and can identify major problem areas which require remediation
A maturity assessment is more advanced and provides a detailed review of a firm’s framework which includes the testing of the effectiveness of the framework itself including the related controls.
We can assist firms to assess the efficiency of their CLM operating model and processes and embark on a programme of realignment followed by transformation and optimisation. The method focusses on people, process and technology over a 2-3 year timeline. We have seen efficiency gains in excess of 55%.
Lysis has extensive experience of conducting governance reviews and assisting firms to improve the structure and documentation of their governance arrangements. We have also helped multiple firms with the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) in the UK and advised on the Senior Executive Accountability Regime (SEAR) in Ireland.
We have the necessary experience to advice firms regarding the design of effective risk rating methodologies, policies and the writing of supporting procedures to ensure compliance and operational efficiency, in line with the strategic business objectives.
To optimise firms’ FC controls, requires an increase in effectiveness of processes along with a dedicated focus on high efficiency which will facilitate sustainable processes to develop and embed effective FC controls. Lysis has great experience in designing, implementing, testing and proving control frameworks.
We understand the challenges during each step of a Section 166 review in the UK and similar reviews in other jurisdictions. We can support our clients with an experienced team of highly skilled individuals who understand the scope of the review and the reviewer’s and regulator’s expectations. We can support our clients to maximise the effectiveness of their responses to the reviewer. Unfocussed responses often lead to an excessively negative audit report and higher than necessary regulatory sanction. Our expertise also includes thorough preparations for regulatory visits. Finally if a regulatory visit or Section 166 review leads to a significant remediation programme we have experience of planning and executing remediation programmes across the full governance, risk and compliance arena.
We assist firms in selecting the right Regulatory Technology (RegTech) that is aligned with their bespoke operational requirements because we know first-hand that, over time, firms develop both generic and unique operating characteristics.
We service a global client list from offices in London, New York, Singapore, Dublin, Paris and Cape Town.
