FRA’s consistent involvement in resolving headline enforcement matters, internal investigations, compliance monitorships and disputes places our experts at the center of the forces shaping best practice in risk management. Our advisory services tailor our bespoke models to clients in any sector where leading risk strategies are required, be it local or multinational, targeted or holistic

How we can help
Collaborative partners aligned with your goals
We work closely with clients to understand the need, determine scope and provide actionable advice built on decade of expertise. Our wide range services span targeted compliance reviews and due diligence exercises to holistic design and enhancement of compliance programs.
Our experts’ ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and practically is what sets us apart for clients, regulators and peers.

You can expect better advice for quicker decision making and effective outcomes.
Risk-based and nuanced methodology
“One size fits all” solutions can ultimately leave you more exposed. Existing compliance programme maturity, industry regulation, human resource and use of technology are only some of the factors that are taken into account during a review and enhancement exercise. Applying our proven investigative mindset and risk-based approach to all our engagements, we target specific areas for designing, testing and developing the right compliance strategy for your company.
The foundations of our approach are a bespoke risk assessment model, rigorous controls testing strengthened by tailored data analytics tools, and deep insight on core financial compliance risks as well as emerging non-financial areas applicable across most sectors.

Lending credibility with stakeholders and authorities
Incorporating credible, independent advice into a company’s compliance reviews, GRC enhancement or due diligence exercises are key tools in enabling companies to make informed, mitigate risks and decisions as well as providing defensible system and processes should isolated instances of negligence or abuse occur. FRA experts have presented directly and supported clients before regulators, courts and stakeholders including C-suite leadership and boards. We have experience with approaches that have withstood scrutiny by the most demanding audience and can be called upon to attest to our recommendations.
