Please can you provide some examples of recent projects/professional high point that you’ve worked on?
One of my professional highs was working with a leading MGA (managing general agent), we provide the outsourced Internal Audit team covering, Financial, operational and IT risks. We successfully migrated from a compliance cyclic plan to a risk-based assessment and forward looking approach.
Another was when we provided Consumer Duty expertise to UK retail insurers focussing on project delivery and consumer outcome assurance. We identified weaknesses in existing control frameworks that would have created unnecessary exposures and regulatory challenges, and recommended proportionate controls to mitigate these risks.
Working with insurance intermediaries Pre and Post M&A activities focussed on governance and control frameworks to ensure these remain appropriate, fit for purpose and aligned to peer / market expected practices.
What is your unique selling point? What makes your business approach unique?
We only do the things we’re good at doing.
The people at the meetings understand that the business did the work.
Providing experienced resources to deliver assurance builds client trust, accelerates the work, minimises operational impact, and maximises the value added from market insight and practical control application.
