From Red Flags to Green Lights: How Consultants Orchestrate Regulatory Turnarounds
A European payments startup faced PSD2 safeguarding questions and unclear board responsibilities. Consultants staged a readiness review, rehearsed a pre-application meeting, and built crisp evidence packs for safeguarding accounts and outsourcing controls. When regulator queries arrived, responses were pre-drafted and data-backed. The license landed, and launch timelines held.
Teams start with a plain-English control inventory, then map gaps to rule texts and supporting artifacts. Each gap gets an owner, a deadline, and a checklist of acceptable evidence. This avoids vague promises and ensures regulators see documents that actually prove control operation across relevant periods and scenarios.
Numbers That Matter: Reporting, Data, and Model Governance Done Right
Stress Testing that Stood Up to Scrutiny
A regional bank’s stress testing drew questions on scenario design and overlays. Advisors tightened change controls, documented challenger models, and aligned variables with macroeconomic narratives. Drill-down lineage let examiners trace every figure back to governed sources. The subsequent review praised transparency and methodological consistency across cycles.
People, Process, Proof: Building Sustainable Compliance
Consultants helped a payments team own controls by embedding simple attestations, visual runbooks, and peer checks. The second line shifted from chasing to coaching. When auditors sampled transactions, frontline narratives matched artifacts, proving ownership. Share your approach—how is your first line demonstrating day-to-day control effectiveness?
People, Process, Proof: Building Sustainable Compliance
Annual courses were forgettable. Advisors swapped them for scenario-based microlearning tied to real errors, then measured behavior through targeted quality checks. Scores improved, but more importantly, exceptions fell. Consider subscribing to receive templates for behavior-based training plans aligned to your regulatory obligations and risk profile.
