Financial Sector Governance & Regulatory Reform
We support banks, financial regulators and public financial institutions in strengthening governance, supervision, institutional resilience and technology-enabled risk management.
Challenges we address
Situations where organisations typically ask us for help.
Board oversight of risk is weak
Boards and risk committees do not get the information or accountability they need to oversee risk.
Supervision is not risk-based
Regulators rely on compliance checks rather than risk-based supervision and capable supervisory teams.
Digital finance outpaces governance
Digital and mobile financial services grow faster than oversight, data governance and security accountability.
Control weaknesses go uncorrected
Fraud risks, reconciliation gaps and control failures are found but not fixed.
What we do

Board governance, executive accountability, risk committees, governance structures and institutional controls.
Technology & Operational Risk
